Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met with Amazon Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy in New Delhi to discuss the technology giant’s long-term growth and digital roadmap for India. Following the high-level meeting, Amazon announced a record-breaking investment commitment of $48 billion in the country spanning between 2026 and 2030.
Welcoming the proposal, Prime Minister Modi shared on social media platform X:
“A great meeting with Mr. Andy Jassy. I welcome Amazon’s record $48 billion investment in India. This will create new opportunities for our youth. At the same time, it shows the growing interest across the world to invest in India!”
Breaking Down the $48 Billion Investment Proposal
The $48 billion package is an upgrade from a previously planned $35 billion commitment, driven largely by India’s rapid emergence as a global technology hub. The capital will be split across two primary pillars:
- Cloud & AI Expansion ($21+ Billion): The proposal includes a fresh, incremental injection of $13 billion explicitly dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing infrastructure. This brings Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) total planned infrastructure investment to over $21 billion. The funds will be used to heavily expand data center capacities in Mumbai and Hyderabad, providing Indian startups, enterprises, and government bodies with custom AI chips and managed AI services.
- E-Commerce, Quick Commerce, & Logistics: The remaining portion of the capital will aggressively scale Amazon’s retail footprint. This includes launching more than 20 new fulfillment centers and over 100 new last-mile delivery stations this year alone, with a specific focus on extending rapid delivery capabilities to Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities.
Socio-Economic Targets by 2030
During the meeting, Andy Jassy outlined how Amazon’s business priorities are aligning with the Indian government’s vision for a digitally empowered economy. By 2030, the $48 billion investment is pledged to achieve the following milestones:
| Target Area | 2030 Projected Goal |
| Job Creation | Support 3.8 million direct and indirect jobs (up from 2.8 million currently). |
| Trade & Exports | Enable $80 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports. |
| MSME Digitization | Bring the benefits of AI and digital tooling to 15 million small businesses. |
| Education | Provide AI education and cloud skills training to 4 million government school students. |
Following the talks, Jassy expressed deep optimism about the partnership, noting that Amazon has already invested $40 billion in India over the past decade and is “just getting started”. This fresh commitment will push Amazon’s cumulative investments in India from 2010 through 2030 to an unprecedented total of over $88 billion.
