Amazon announced that it will invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030 as part of a large-scale expansion effort designed to accelerate AI adoption, strengthen digital and physical infrastructure, and support economic growth across the country. The commitment builds on nearly $40 billion the company has already invested in India, which has contributed to the digitization of more than 12 million small businesses, generated $20 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports, and supported approximately 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs across industries in 2024.
The announcement was made at the sixth edition of the Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi on December 10, 2025, where a new Economic Impact Report from Keystone Strategy highlighted Amazon’s role as the largest foreign investor in India based on publicly available data, as well as the most significant enabler of ecommerce exports from the country. The expanded investment plan focuses on rapidly growing India’s AI capabilities, accelerating export growth, expanding logistics infrastructure, and generating new workforce opportunities.
The company’s AI-driven initiatives are expected to reach 15 million small businesses by 2030, with sellers already adopting tools such as Seller Assistant, Next Gen Selling, and Lens AI for visual discovery. Amazon also plans to bring AI education programs to 4 million government school students through curriculum support, career exploration tours, hands-on sandbox environments, and teacher training aligned with India’s National Education Policy 2020.
In addition to expanding its AI offerings, Amazon said it intends to create one million jobs in India by 2030 through the continued development of fulfillment operations, delivery networks, and technology infrastructure. The company emphasized that these investments will also support adjacent sectors, including manufacturing, packaging, and transportation.
Amazon reiterated its commitment to helping India reach $80 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports by 2030, four times the current total. The company views the increased investment as aligned with India’s long-term digital transformation strategy and its goals for building a technology-enabled, globally competitive economy.
