New Delhi, June 2025 — In a major show of commitment to one of its fastest-growing markets, Amazon has announced a $233 million (approximately ₹1,940 crore) investment to expand its operations infrastructure and enhance technology capabilities across India.
This strategic move reflects Amazon’s continued focus on deepening its logistics footprint, improving delivery speed and reliability, and ensuring better well-being for its workforce in India.
Strengthening E-Commerce Infrastructure
The investment will be primarily used to:
- Expand and modernize Amazon’s fulfilment and delivery centers
- Improve last-mile delivery systems
- Integrate advanced logistics technologies such as real-time route optimization and driver safety monitoring tools
Amazon says this expansion will help ensure faster, more efficient deliveries across India, including in remote and underserved regions.
Technology-Driven Efficiency
A key portion of the investment will focus on integrating new technologies within the supply chain. This includes:
- Monitoring systems to ensure safe driving practices
- Intelligent routing tools to allocate delivery routes more fairly and efficiently
- Automation and AI enhancements for warehouse operations
These upgrades aim to optimize delivery performance while supporting the safety and wellness of Amazon’s on-ground workforce.
Supporting Workforce Well-being
Amazon is also using part of the funding to invest in initiatives that improve employee health, safety, and financial well-being. These programs will benefit thousands of delivery associates, warehouse staff, and support personnel, underlining Amazon’s long-term vision to be both a customer- and employee-first organization in India.
Part of a Larger India Strategy
This latest $233 million investment is part of Amazon’s broader goal of investing $26 billion in India by 2030. This includes capital for infrastructure, cloud computing, digital skilling, and small business support.
In a related development, Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently announced a $8.2 billion investment to build new data centers in Maharashtra, further solidifying India as a strategic tech hub for the company.
Economic Impact
These investments are expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, stimulate local economies, and support India’s ambitions of becoming a global digital powerhouse. Amazon’s growing footprint also supports government initiatives like ‘Digital India’, ‘Make in India’, and ‘Skill India’.
