Amazon Plans to Invest Another $15 Billion in India by 2030 – Amazon has announced its intention to significantly increase its investment in India over the next seven years. After engaging with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the e-commerce giant joins other prominent American companies in bolstering their commitment to the South Asian market.
Currently, Amazon has invested approximately $11 billion in India, but it plans to inject an additional $15 billion by 2030, according to Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy. The majority of this capital infusion will likely be dedicated to expanding Amazon Web Services (AWS) in India. In fact, the company revealed last month that it intends to allocate $12.7 billion to its cloud business in the country by 2030.
