Catenaa, Thursday, June 19, 2025- Amazon will invest more than $233 million in India in 2025 to scale up its all-India operations network, the e-commerce giant said on Thursday.
The investment builds on top of Amazon’s prior investments for the creation of an operations network to deliver to all serviceable pin-codes in the country.
In June 2023, the e-commerce major, which competes with Walmart’s Flipkart and billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Retail in India, had said it will take its investments in the country to $26 billion by 2030, without providing a breakdown.
The new investment will be used to launch new sites and upgrade existing facilities across its fulfilment and delivery network, improving speed and processing capacity, it said.
The investment announcement comes at a time when India’s ecommerce market is booming, fuelled by broadband penetration, affordable smartphones, digital payments, increasing spends from affluent and middle-class households, as well as a mobile-first, digitally-charged younger population.
Additionally, Amazon plans to use technology to alert delivery associates about unsafe speeds and ensure equitable distribution of delivery routes.
Some of the funds will also be used to expand initiatives to improve the health and financial well-being of its employees, the company said.
Recently, Amazon launched a nationwide initiative to offer free health check-ups to over 80,000 delivery associates and partners through medical camps by the end of 2025.
In March, India’s information technology ministry said Amazon’s cloud services provider, Amazon Web Services, will invest about $8.2 billion in the country.
