Amazon Pledges $35 Billion More Investment in India by 2030
Tech giant pledges massive investment and AI revolution for India.
Amazon on Tuesday announced an additional investment of over $35 billion in India by 2030, taking its total committed capital in the country to nearly $75 billion since 2010. The announcement, made at the Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi, positions India as the company’s largest cumulative foreign investment destination worldwide.
According to an independent economic impact report by Keystone Strategy released alongside the pledge, Amazon has already digitised more than 12 million small and medium businesses, enabled $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports, and supported 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs across India as of 2024. The new investment is projected to create an additional one million jobs by 2030 through expansion of fulfilment centres, cloud infrastructure, logistics networks, and technology development.
The company outlined three core pillars for its future roadmap: accelerating AI-driven digitisation, scaling e-commerce exports to $80 billion by 2030 (a four-fold increase), and generating widespread employment. Amazon committed to equipping 15 million small businesses with artificial intelligence tools and providing AI education to 4 million government school students through curriculum integration, teacher training, and hands-on learning programmes aligned with the National Education Policy 2020.

Senior Vice President for Emerging Markets, Amit Agarwal, emphasised that Amazon’s growth trajectory mirrors India’s vision of a self-reliant and developed nation. He highlighted ongoing investments in physical infrastructure including data centres, delivery stations, and transportation networks, as well as digital payment systems and multilingual platforms designed to bridge literacy and language barriers for hundreds of millions of consumers.
The announcement reinforces India’s strategic importance in Amazon’s global strategy amid intensifying competition in e-commerce, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence services. With this latest commitment, Amazon aims to further strengthen its ecosystem of sellers, developers, logistics partners, and content creators while contributing significantly to India’s ambition of becoming a $5 trillion economy.
