Amazon to invest Rs 2,000 crore in India to boost logistics, tech infrastructure

E-commerce major Amazon will invest over Rs 2,000 crore in India in 2025 to expand and upgrade its logistics and operations network, the company said in a statement on Wednesday. The investment—aimed at boosting delivery speed, reliability, and tech capabilities—comes at a time of rising competitive intensity in India’s commerce landscape.

The announcement follows Amazon’s foray into the 10-minute delivery race with its new initiative Amazon Now, putting it in direct competition with Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, Flipkart Minutes, and other quick commerce players betting big on hyperlocal fulfilment.

“These latest investments reflect our commitment to continually expand and upgrade our operations across our fulfilment, sortation and delivery network,” said Abhinav Singh, Vice President, Operations at Amazon India and Australia. “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.”

Amazon said the fresh capital will go towards launching new fulfilment and sortation centres, upgrading existing sites, and rolling out new tools and technologies to enhance safety, speed, and operational efficiency. The company also highlighted employee and partner welfare initiatives, including better resting areas, health check-ups for delivery partners, and new safety-focused features in its driver app.

The move underscores Amazon’s long-term bet on India’s logistics backbone as it looks to serve customers across all serviceable pin codes and double down on its local presence, the company said.

Flipkart, Amazon’s biggest rival in India, has also been pumping in capital to prepare for an intense battle. As Moneycontrol reported earlier, Flipkart Internet received Rs 2,225 crore ($262 million) from its Singapore-based parent last month – its fourth such internal funding round in just 14 months. In April 2025 alone, Flipkart got Rs 3,250 ($382 million), on top of Rs 1,421 crore and Rs 950 crore raised in April and March 2024, respectively.

Flipkart’s fashion arm Myntra, too, received a $125 million capital infusion recently, highlighting the Walmart-owned group’s parallel play to strengthen fashion and quick commerce verticals.

With both giants ramping up war chests and infrastructure, India’s e-commerce and quick commerce markets are poised for a high-stakes showdown.
