Expansion focuses on infrastructure, safety, and tech innovation
Amazon announced Thursday it will invest more than 20 billion rupees ($233 million) in India in 2025 to expand its operations infrastructure and upgrade fulfillment technology. The e-commerce giant aims to enhance delivery speed, processing capacity, and overall safety within its logistics network.
The new investment builds on Amazon’s existing operational footprint in India, where it currently serves nearly all deliverable pin codes. It will fund the launch of new fulfillment sites and the modernization of existing facilities, the company said.
Commitment to long-term India growth
This move aligns with Amazon’s broader strategic plan to invest $26 billion in India by 2030. Announced in June 2023, that target reflects the company’s ambition to remain competitive in a market dominated by Walmart-backed Flipkart and Reliance Retail, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani.
Some of the 2025 investment will go toward deploying new technologies designed to increase road safety, such as real-time alerts for delivery associates exceeding safe speed limits. Amazon also plans to improve the distribution of delivery routes to ensure fair workloads for employees.
Focus on employee well-being
Beyond logistics, a portion of the funds will support initiatives aimed at boosting employee health and financial security, underlining the company’s commitment to sustainable labor practices in a demanding delivery environment.
Earlier this year, Amazon Web Services committed to invest $8.2 billion in India through 2030, making the country a key focus in Amazon’s global expansion strategy across both e-commerce and cloud services.
