Ecommerce giant Amazon India reportedly plans to invest $3 Bn (₹28,790 Cr) to expand its quick commerce business, Amazon Now, over the course of next four years.
Sources told Reuters that the ecommerce giant will invest $1 Bn in the vertical by the 2027-end, and an additional $2 Bn by 2030.
According to the report, Amazon plans to utilise the fresh proceeds to add new dark stores, strengthen inventory management software at stores, deploy AI tools for demand prediction and expand product mix. The focus will be on stocking daily essentials rather than iPhones, added a source.
Another source reportedly added that the ecommerce major is looking to expand its dark store network to around 1,300 stores by April 2027 from 750 currently.
Amazon India first launched ‘Now’ in Bengaluru in June 2025 and later expanded the service to parts of Delhi in July 2025 and subsequently to Mumbai. While the platform has been comparatively late in entering the quick commerce market, it is picking up momentum.
In April this year, Amazon India’s vice president of operations Abhinav Singh, in a blog post, said that the company would invest ₹2,800 Cr (around $300 Mn) to expand its quick commerce vertical and strengthen its logistics network.
Notably, this is not the first time that the ecommerce giant has poured in capital into the country in the past year. Last year, Amazon India had announced a ₹2,000 Cr investment to add 17 new fulfilment centres, six sortation centres, and 75 last-mile delivery stations across India.
