Amazon Lifts India AI, Cloud Investment to $48 Billion by 2030

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jun 25

$13 billion in new spending will expand AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, raising Amazon's India AI and cloud commitment for 2026-2030 to $48 billion.
Amazon said the buildout will give Indian startups, enterprises and government agencies access to custom AI chips, managed AI services and secure cloud infrastructure.
Andy Jassy announced the move after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, framing Amazon as a long-term partner in India's push to widen AI access, digitize small businesses and create jobs.
India has become a key battleground for hyperscalers: Amazon had already pledged $35 billion in December, while Google is investing $15 billion and Microsoft joined a $50 billion big-tech wave announced within 24 hours last year.
The expansion comes as India's data center capacity has climbed to about 1.6GW in 2025 from 350MW in 2019, helped by long-term tax breaks despite the country still lacking cutting-edge chip production and a frontier-scale foundation model.
