Amazon Expands India Investment, Boosts Fulfilment Network

New Delhi – Global e-commerce giant Amazon has announced a fresh investment aimed at expanding and upgrading its logistics infrastructure in India, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the country’s booming digital economy.

Building on prior investments, the new funding will help launch new fulfilment sites, upgrade existing delivery hubs, and improve both speed and processing capacity, the company said in a press release on Wednesday.

This investment is a continuation of Amazon’s June 2023 pledge to bring its total India investment to $26 billion by 2030, as it battles for dominance against local giants like Flipkart (Walmart) and Reliance Retail (Mukesh Ambani).

Focus on Safety, Tech & Welfare

Amazon said it will also leverage technology to monitor delivery associate behavior, such as flagging unsafe driving speeds and balancing route workloads to improve safety and performance.

In a progressive move, part of the investment will support employee well-being, with expanded health and financial wellness programs across the company’s Indian workforce.

“We’re investing not only in infrastructure but also in people,” an Amazon India spokesperson said. “Our focus remains on sustainable growth, safety, and long-term customer trust.”

AWS Boosts India Footprint

This announcement follows Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) $8.2 billion investment plan in India, disclosed by the country’s Information Technology Ministry in March 2025. The AWS funds are being used to build new cloud infrastructure and support the country’s digital transformation goals.

Competitive Landscape Intensifies

Amazon’s move comes amid fierce competition in India’s e-commerce sector. With Flipkart expanding into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and Reliance Retail consolidating its offline-to-online retail hybrid model, Amazon is racing to improve last-mile delivery, rural reach, and overall logistics efficiency.

Industry analysts see the investments as part of Amazon's strategy to solidify its supply chain backbone, enabling faster delivery across all serviceable PIN codes in India.
