Amazon Web Services to invest $12.7 billion in India by 2030

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced plans to invest $12.7 billion in India by 2030 to meet growing customer demand for cloud services in the country. This investment is estimated to contribute $23.3 billion to India's total gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030.

The investment will be used to build new data centres in India, which will create an estimated average of 13,170 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs in Indian businesses each year. These positions will include construction, facility maintenance, engineering, telecommunications, and other jobs.

AWS has already invested $3.7 billion in India between 2016 and 2022, and this new investment will bring its total investment in India to $16.4 billion by 2030.

The investment is welcomed by the Indian government, which is working to develop India into a global digital powerhouse. The government's Digital India vision is driving the expansion of cloud and data centres in India.

AWS is committed to driving positive social and economic impact in India. In addition to building cloud infrastructure, AWS has trained more than four million people in India with cloud skills since 2017, and invested in six utility-scale renewable energy projects to meet its global 100% renewable energy goal by 2025.

The investment is expected to have a significant impact on the Indian economy, creating jobs, stimulating innovation, and helping India to become a global digital powerhouse.
