Amazon has announced plans to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030, according to multiple media reports. The investment will be made over the next five years and spans the company’s e-commerce, cloud computing, logistics, and digital services businesses in the country. With this commitment, Amazon’s cumulative investment in India is expected to reach nearly $75 billion, including the approximately $40 billion it has already invested since 2010. The company said the fresh capital will be deployed across Amazon Web Services, fulfilment infrastructure, last-mile delivery, data centres, and AI-led initiatives. Amazon added that the investment will also support its seller ecosystem and exports program, which enables Indian sellers to sell globally through the platform. Amazon said it aims to support around 15 million small businesses in India by integrating artificial intelligence tools into their operations and expects the investment to contribute to the creation of about one million jobs by 2030. Amazon operates multiple business verticals in India, including its marketplace, Prime Video, AWS cloud services, payments, and logistics. The company has also expanded its data centre and fulfilment network across several states to support growing demand. India remains one of Amazon’s key international markets, with the company continuing to invest in infrastructure, technology, and local sellers as part of its long-term operations in the country. The announcement comes a day after Microsoft said it would invest $17.5 billion in India over the coming years to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure footprint. Meanwhile, Google has already committed to invest $15 billion in India over the next five years.

Google is planning a massive push in India by investing $10 billion to build a new data centre cluster in and around Visakhapatnam. The project will include three campuses in nearby villages such as Adavivaram, Tarluvada, and Rambilli, and will have a total power capacity of 1 gigawatt. Key infrastructure steps include laying three submarine cables, building cable landing stations, and deploying high-capacity fiber and telecom networks. Google aims to make these centres fully operational by July 2028. The deal is expected to be formalized when top Google executives meet with Andhra Pradesh’s IT and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh in New Delhi on October 14. This will likely be the largest-ever direct investment by Google in India’s digital infrastructure. Earlier, Google had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Andhra Pradesh government in December 2024, soon after a change in state leadership. The state government is also pushing to amend laws and issues related to data to make it easier for such large digital projects to proceed. Visakhapatnam’s data centre cluster will be part of India’s first AI Infrastructure Hub, a zone meant to concentrate cutting-edge digital infrastructure. The aim is to boost advanced research, AI capabilities, and related technology growth in Andhra Pradesh and across India. At present, Google operates data centres in 11 other countries but has no cluster of this scale yet in India.

The company currently operates multiple data centres in India and serves a large base of enterprises, developers, and government clients through its Azure cloud platform. The fresh capital is expected to support new infrastructure buildouts, higher computing capacity, and expanded AI model deployment across industries such as banking, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and public services. The move comes at a time when global technology firms are increasing capital allocation toward AI training infrastructure, high-performance computing, and data centre networks.
