Amazon (AMZN) fell 2.76% to $227.90 on Thursday as the company announced a fresh India investment. The stock showed intraday weakness, while Amazon outlined another major cloud expansion plan. The move adds to its long-term push across India’s digital economy.
Amazon Expands AWS Capacity in India
Amazon said it would invest another $13 billion in India through 2030. The company will use the funding to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure. The plan centers on Amazon Web Services data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The announcement came after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The meeting placed cloud infrastructure and digital services at the center of Amazon’s India strategy. The investment extends the company’s growing role in India’s technology sector.
Amazon has already made several large commitments to India in recent years. In 2023, the company announced a $15 billion investment plan through 2030. That package included $12.7 billion for Amazon Web Services.
India Draws Larger Cloud Commitments
Amazon followed that earlier pledge with another commitment of more than $35 billion in December 2025. Its total India investment commitments now stand at $48 billion. The company did not give a full breakdown of that total.
Technology firms often include capital costs and operating expenses in long-term investment plans. The $48 billion figure may cover infrastructure, staffing, services, and other business operations. Amazon has not separated those categories in its latest announcement.
The investment comes as India gains importance in global cloud and computing infrastructure. Microsoft said in December it would invest $17.5 billion in India by 2029. Google also announced a $15 billion plan for an AI hub and data center infrastructure.
Amazon Builds Retail and Delivery Network
India has also attracted data center commitments from several major groups. These include AirTrunk, CPP Investments, Reliance Industries, and Adani Group. New Delhi has used policy incentives to draw more cloud investment.
The government has offered tax relief for foreign cloud providers on some overseas services. Those benefits apply when workloads run from data centers based in India. India aims to increase its role in cross-border cloud services.
Amazon is also expanding its retail and logistics network across the country. The company plans to open more than 20 fulfillment centers this year. It also plans to add more than 100 last-mile delivery stations.
Amazon has also detailed plans to expand Amazon Now across India. The quick-commerce service will reach more than 300 cities and towns. This expansion places Amazon deeper into India’s fast delivery market.
Amazon faces competition from Blinkit, Instamart, Zepto, and Flipkart in quick commerce. Flipkart also plans to open 1,500 micro-fulfillment centers by the end of 2026. Amazon’s India strategy now spans cloud, retail, logistics, and rapid delivery.
