Amazon’s cloud computing unit on Thursday said that the planned investment in data centre infrastructure in India will support an estimated average of 1,31,700 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs in Indian businesses each year.
In the statement, AWS said it plans to invest Rs 1.05 trillion into cloud infrastructure in India and added its long-term commitment in India will reach Rs 1.36 trillion by 2030.
“This investment is estimated to contribute Rs 1.94 trillion to India’s total gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030,” the statement said.
AWS has two data centre infrastructure regions in India — the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region, launched in 2016, and the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region, launched in November 2022.
AWS has invested more than Rs 30,900 crore in the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region between 2016 and 2022. This included both capital and operating expenditures associated with constructing, maintaining, and operating the data centres in that region.
“PM Narendra Modi’s Digital India vision is driving expansion of cloud & data centres in India,” Minister of state for electronics and information technology Rajeev Chandrashekhar said.
“MeitY is also working on a Cloud and Data Centre Policy to catalyse innovation, sustainability, and growth of India Cloud,” the minister said.
AWS observed that hundreds of thousands of its customers in India run their workloads on AWS to drive cost savings, accelerate innovation, and increase speed time to market.
AWS also helps several Indian businesses build digital solutions locally that can be scaled globally through the AWS Partner Network (APN) where Indian partners can use programmes, expertise, and resources to build, market, and sell customer offerings.
