Amazon To Pump $233 Million Into Indian Operations

India-West News Desk

CHENNAI — Amazon announced it will invest over $233 million in India in 2025 to expand its operations infrastructure, develop new technology for its fulfilment network, and improve delivery safety. The move is part of the global e-commerce giant’s continued effort to deepen its footprint in one of its most critical growth markets.

The company said the funds will go toward launching new fulfilment and delivery sites, upgrading existing facilities, and enhancing logistics speed and capacity across the country. Amazon’s delivery network currently reaches all serviceable PIN codes in India.

“This investment builds on our prior efforts to create a robust operations network in India,” the company said in a statement.

A key focus of the investment will be safety and efficiency. Amazon plans to roll out new technology that alerts delivery associates about unsafe driving speeds and optimizes delivery routes to ensure more equitable workloads. Part of the budget will also support initiatives aimed at improving the health and financial well-being of its employees.

The announcement follows Amazon’s broader commitment in June 2023 to invest $26 billion in India by 2030, although it did not previously detail where the funds would be allocated. Amazon competes with Walmart-owned Flipkart and Reliance Retail, helmed by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, in India’s fiercely competitive e-commerce space.

In a separate development earlier this year, India’s IT ministry said Amazon Web Services would invest $8.2 billion in its cloud infrastructure in India through 2030, reinforcing the company’s long-term strategy in the country.
