Amazon Web Services has reaffirmed its $12.7 billion India investment plan through 2030, as the cloud provider expands infrastructure to meet rising enterprise demand for cloud migration, artificial intelligence workloads and lower-latency digital services.
Speaking on the sidelines of AWS Summit 2026 in Bengaluru, Prasad Kalyanaraman, Vice-President of AWS Infrastructure Services, said India remains one of the company’s key markets and among the few countries where AWS operates more than one cloud region.
“India is a key market for us and among a handful of countries where we operate more than one region. We started with Mumbai and expanded to Hyderabad, both fully featured regions with multiple availability zones,” he said.
AWS operates cloud regions in Mumbai and Hyderabad, allowing customers to run applications across locations to improve latency, resilience and disaster recovery. The Mumbai region was launched in 2016, while the Hyderabad region went live in November 2022.
The $12.7 billion commitment, first announced in 2023, forms part of AWS’s wider India infrastructure plan. The company has said the investment will support demand for cloud services and strengthen local data center capacity.
“India is a huge growth market for us. We are seeing strong adoption across sectors, from digital platforms to enterprises. We have outlined an investment of $12.7 billion in India by 2030, and we have aggressive growth plans as we continue to respond to customer demand,” Kalyanaraman said.
He said AWS has trained more than 7 million people in India in cloud skills and is continuing talent development in generative AI.
“The pace of innovation in India is quite staggering. Across sectors, enterprises are rapidly adopting cloud and driving innovation,” he said.
On AI infrastructure, Kalyanaraman said India has advantages in energy, land availability and skilled labor, with increasing alignment between government and industry on AI-related capacity building.
The India investment is part of Amazon’s wider global infrastructure expansion. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in his 2025 shareholder letter that AWS reported 24% year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 and was operating at a $142 billion revenue run rate.
