Amazon on Thursday announced it will invest over Rs 2,000 crore (approximately $233 million) in 2025 to expand and modernise its operations infrastructure in India. The investment will also focus on associate safety, well-being programmes, and the development of new tools and technologies within its fulfilment network.
According to the company’s statement, the new investment builds on Amazon’s existing infrastructure which enables deliveries across all serviceable pin codes in India.
“For over a decade now in India, we have been focused on building the best-in-class logistics infrastructure — designed to deliver with safety, speed, scale, and reliability for our customers across the country,” said Abhinav Singh, Vice President - Operations, Amazon India and Australia.
Singh added, “By strengthening our infrastructure capabilities, enhancing processing capacity, and implementing state-of-the-art technology, we're positioning Amazon to better serve customers throughout India while supporting our employees, associates and partners who are the heart of it all.”
The company plans to use this investment to open new sites and upgrade existing facilities across its fulfilment, sortation, and delivery network. The aim is to boost processing capacity, improve fulfilment speed, and enhance efficiency throughout its operations.
Amazon stated that it will also continue to expand initiatives focused on the health and financial well-being of its employees and associates working across the operations network.
At the fifth edition of its annual ‘Smbhav Summit’ held in December in New Delhi, Amazon committed to increasing its exports target fourfold, aiming to achieve over $80 billion in cumulative exports from India by 2030.
In addition, the company allocated $120 million from its ‘Smbhav Venture Fund’ to invest in startups that are digitising consumer goods. Amazon had earlier pledged to digitise 10 million MSMEs, generate $20 billion in cumulative exports, and create 2 million jobs in India by 2025.
