AWS is moving forward with a major data center investment in India, filing for environmental clearance to build a campus near Taloja in Navi Mumbai.The project, valued at $429.8 million, would occupy a 49-acre site and consist of six buildings, four of them seven-story data center facilities and two two-story structures dedicated to electrical and water infrastructure. Total campus capacity is projected at 473MW.

AWS acquired the Taloja site in late 2024 from Macrotech Developers (Lodha) for Rs 450 crore (~$48.35 million), and separately picked up 38.18 acres in Palava, also near Navi Mumbai, in December of the same year.

The investment is part of a broader push by Amazon into Indian infrastructure. In December 2025, the company pledged $35 billion in India across data centers and AI infrastructure. Earlier that year, AWS had already announced $8.3 billion earmarked for expanding its Asia-Pacific (Mumbai) cloud region. AWS first launched in Mumbai in 2016, pouring $3.7 billion into the region through 2022, before opening a Hyderabad region that same year, with an additional $7 billion expansion announced there late last year.

Navi Mumbai, situated just east of Mumbai, has become one of India’s primary data center hubs, home to operators such as STT GDC, L&T, Sify, Colt, Equinix, and Bridge Data Centres.
