Davos: In a meeting with chief minister A Revanth Reddy and IT and Industries minister D Sridhar Babu here, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has agreed to invest Rs 60,000 crore in data centres in Telangana.

The AWS side of the talks was represented by Michael Punke, vice president, Global Public Policy, at the World Economic Forum-2025.

The leaders discussed the Telangana government’s supportive role in creating a welcoming environment for establishing data centre infrastructure in the State and the strategic importance of the state for AWS’s operations in India. Telangana is an integral component of AWS’s strategy in India.

AWS agreed to invest $4.4 billion by 2030

AWS will be expanding its data centres in Hyderabad in a big way with plans for fresh investment of around Rs 60,000 crores. With this, the AWS Region in Hyderabad will play an increasingly important role in supporting AWS’s growth of cloud services in India, including AI in the future.

AWS had earlier announced to invest $4.4 billion by 2030 to develop its cloud infrastructure in Telangana. AWS has so far developed three sites in the State with an investment of around US $1 billion. These three centres are already operational.

Telangana agrees to provide additional land

AWS has requested the government to facilitate the allocation of additional land for their expansion plans, for which the government agreed. Amazon, with its expansion plans, is committed to supporting the digital ambitions of Telangana

Hailing the major investment decision, CM Revanth Reddy said, “We are delighted with the growth of confidence of global businesses like Amazon to making huge investments as never before in our State now. The efforts of the last year have truly borne fruit. This is ‘Telangana Rising’ vision at work.”

D Sridhar Babu, IT & Industries Minister, said that with this deal, Hyderabad is set to be recognised as the hub for data centres in India and an undisputed leader in the global space.
