Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced its plan to invest $8.3 billion into cloud infrastructure in the AWS Asia-Pacific (Mumbai) Region, Maharashtra, by 2030. This investment aims to further expand cloud computing capacity in India, contributing an estimated $15.3 billion to India’s GDP.
This announcement was formalized through a memorandum of understanding between the Government of Maharashtra and AWS. The new investment builds on AWS’s previous $3.7 billion investment in Maharashtra from 2016 to 2022, as part of the company’s broader commitment to invest $12.7 billion in India by 2030.
The projected $15.3 billion GDP contribution will be driven by AWS’s construction and operation of data centers, alongside value additions to India’s IT sector. The investment will also support an average of 81,300 full-time jobs annually across various industries, including telecommunications, construction, electricity generation, facilities maintenance, and data center operations. These roles are integral to the data center supply chain, creating a ripple effect of economic benefits across multiple sectors.
AWS’s investment is expected to power the digital transformation of enterprises, startups, public sector organizations, and small and medium-sized businesses. With existing customers such as Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, and Coal India leveraging AWS’s services, the expanded cloud infrastructure will enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate innovation.
AWS has trained over 5.9 million individuals in cloud skills across India since 2017. It’s Skills-to-Jobs Tech Alliance in India, with nearly 100 collaborating institutions, aims to bridge the digital skills gap. Additionally, a pilot program in Maharashtra trains students in data center operations, preparing the workforce for future opportunities.
