Amazon India has announced a massive investment of over ₹2,800 crore (approximately $300 million) aimed at drastically expanding its logistics infrastructure and enhancing worker benefits across the country. The announcement, made on Thursday, marks a significant step in the e-commerce giant’s broader strategy to invest over $35 billion in India by 2030, focusing on AI-led digitization, exports, and job creation.
The fresh capital infusion follows a high-growth period in 2025, during which the company launched 17 fulfillment centers and 75 last-mile delivery stations. This year’s spending will prioritize the scaling of Amazon’s core operations and its burgeoning quick commerce arm, Amazon Now. With over 300 micro-fulfillment centers already operational, the company plans to further penetrate Tier-II and Tier-III cities, offering delivery timelines ranging from a few minutes to a few days.
Abhinav Singh, Vice President of Operations for Amazon India and Australia, emphasized that the investment is as much about people as it is about packages. “At the heart of this network are our people,” Singh stated, noting that the funds will be used to raise the bar for associate safety, health, and financial well-being. To this end, Amazon is upgrading its facilities with climate control systems, spot cooling, and enhanced rest areas to combat workplace fatigue. The infrastructure will also be modernized with energy-efficient systems and improved accessibility features for employees with disabilities.
