PM Modi meets Amazon CEO Andy Jassy as tech giant commits $13 billion more to fuel India’s AI boom

 

E-commerce giant Amazon’s latest investment will strengthen AI capabilities, cloud infrastructure and digital services in India as global tech firms accelerate their bets on the country’s fast-growing digital economy.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, during his current visit to India, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announced that the company will invest an additional $13 billion in the country by 2030 to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure capabilities.

The latest investment comes within six months of Amazon announcing a $35 billion India investment plan in December 2025, taking the company’s fresh investment commitment to $48 billion.

Following the meeting, Jassy said in a post on X, “Really enjoyed my meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi about what’s ahead for Amazon in India. We’ve been serving customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises in India for more than a decade and are just getting started.”

He added that Amazon is investing $48 billion in India, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to the country’s digital growth story.

Welcoming the announcement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also posted on 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!”

According to Amazon, its cumulative investments in India from 2010 to 2030 will cross $88 billion, highlighting the country’s growing importance in the global technology giant’s expansion plans.

The fresh capital infusion will focus on expanding Amazon’s AI capabilities, cloud computing infrastructure and digital services as India witnesses rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and cloud technologies across businesses, startups and enterprises.

Amazon’s latest commitment comes as global technology majors increasingly scale up investments in India, betting on the country’s fast-growing digital economy, talent ecosystem and rising demand for next-generation technologies.
