TLDR

Amazon plans to invest $3 billion in Indian quick commerce by 2030, Reuters reports, citing two people with direct knowledge of the confidential plan. The first $1 billion would be spent by the end of 2027, followed by another $2 billion through 2030. Much of the money would expand Amazon Now’s neighborhood-warehouse network, while other spending would improve inventory software, demand forecasting and product selection.

Amazon plans to invest $3 billion in its Indian quick-commerce business by 2030, Reuters reports, citing two people with direct knowledge of the confidential plan. The company would spend $1 billion by the end of 2027 and another $2 billion through 2030.

Amazon declined to comment on the planned investment figures. It said Amazon Now, its fast-delivery service inside the main Amazon app, had passed $1 billion in annualized gross sales over the previous three months.

More neighborhood warehouses

A large share of the proposed spending would go toward expanding the small neighborhood warehouses that Amazon Now uses to fulfill orders quickly. One source told Reuters that Amazon is targeting roughly 1,300 locations by April 2027, up from about 750.

The company also plans to improve inventory-management software, deploy AI tools for demand forecasting and broaden its product selection. Its current focus is on frequently reordered daily essentials, an approach intended to make the economics of small local warehouses work.

Amazon is chasing established Indian rivals. Datum Intelligence estimates that Blinkit, Swiggy and Zepto together control 77% of the market, while Amazon holds 6.2%. The research firm values the sector at $19 billion and projects that it will reach $41 billion by 2030. The planned investment is therefore both an expansion bet and an attempt to close a substantial distribution gap.
