Amazon India Investment Boosts Quick Commerce and Delivery Network

Amazon India investment of Rs 2,800 crore will expand Amazon Now, boost warehouses, improve deliveries, and strengthen AI-powered ecommerce operations across India

Amazon India investment plans received a major boost on Thursday as the company announced it will invest Rs 2,800 crore (around $300 million) to strengthen infrastructure and operations across the country. The move is part of Amazon’s previously announced commitment to invest $35 billion in India by 2030.

The fresh Amazon India investment highlights the company’s focus on faster deliveries, wider reach, and advanced technology as competition intensifies in India’s ecommerce market.

Amazon Now Quick Commerce to Expand

A key portion of the new funds will be used to double the footprint of Amazon’s quick commerce service, Amazon Now. At present, Amazon Now operates in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru through nearly 300 micro fulfilment centres.

Quick commerce has become one of the fastest-growing segments in India, with customers increasingly expecting grocery and daily essentials deliveries in minutes rather than days.

Stronger Reach in Tier-2 and Tier-3 Cities

Besides quick commerce, Amazon said it will invest in expanding its nationwide ecommerce network, including warehouses and last-mile delivery stations. This is expected to improve delivery speed in smaller towns and cities where online shopping demand continues to rise.

The company had earlier announced an investment of Rs 2,000 crore in June 2025, which helped launch 17 new fulfilment centres, six sortation centres, and 75 delivery stations across India.

AI and Technology in Focus

The latest Amazon India investment will also support technology upgrades, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning across its logistics operations. These tools are expected to improve route planning, warehouse efficiency, and customer experience.

Abhinav Singh, Vice President of Operations for Amazon India and Australia, said the company is investing to enable faster, safer, and more reliable deliveries for customers.

Revenue Growth and Market Competition

Amazon’s announcement comes as ecommerce companies race to grow their dark store and delivery networks. In FY25, Amazon Seller Services reported revenue of Rs 30,139 crore, up 19% year-on-year, while losses narrowed sharply to Rs 374 crore.

With India’s online shopping market expanding rapidly, Amazon’s latest investment signals its long-term commitment to staying ahead in one of the world’s most competitive ecommerce markets.
