New Delhi: Reinforcing its long-term commitment to India, Amazon has announced plans to invest an additional $48 billion in the country between 2026 and 2030, taking its total investment commitment since 2010 to $88 billion. The announcement came after Amazon President and CEO Andy Jassy met Narendra Modi during his visit to India on Thursday.

One of India’s Biggest AI and Cloud Investors

With the fresh investment, Amazon is set to become one of the largest global investors in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure in India. The company also reaffirmed its position as one of the country’s biggest foreign investors and a major driver of India’s e-commerce export ecosystem.

Jassy highlighted several India-first innovations that are now being replicated globally. Among them is Amazon Now, which was initially developed as an experimental service in India and has since become a model for other international markets.
