Amazon allocates $13 billion to expand AWS data centers in Mumbai and Hyderabad for AI workloads. This forms part of a $48 billion five-year India investment that brings cumulative commitments above $88 billion.

The technology giant will direct the fresh capital toward expanded AWS datacenter capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad as it races to keep pace with AI-driven demand.

Amazon expands datacenter capacity in two cities. The allocation forms part of a five-year pledge totaling more than $48 billion and brings the company's cumulative commitments in India from 2010 to 2030 above $88 billion. Some of the earlier sums went to retail fulfillment centers and delivery stations.
Like its rivals, the firm is reportedly struggling to construct sufficient compute resources for the anticipated surge in AI workloads.

Jassy ties the spending to India's national priorities. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy disclosed the plan after meeting Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The executive said the company's objectives match New Delhi's focus on widening AI access, digitizing small businesses, generating employment and boosting exports. "We are investing over $48 billion in the coming five years to meet the strong demand across our business in India and to help India achieve these priorities," Jassy stated.

He added that Amazon is inspired by Modi's goal of a "Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat" and intends to remain a long-term partner in the country's development.

He added that Amazon is inspired by Modi's goal of a "Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat" and intends to remain a long-term partner in the country's development.

Earlier India pledge and parallel US moves provide scale. The company had announced a $35 billion investment in India in 2025. Last November it pledged up to $50 billion to enlarge AI and supercomputing capacity for U.S. government users of AWS, which would add nearly 1.3 gigawatts across its Top Secret, Secret and GovCloud regions. In January 2025 Amazon also proposed an $11 billion project for datacenters in two Georgia counties.
