Davos: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu had a major breakthrough in their meeting with senior executives from Amazon Web Services (AWS) at the World Economic Forum, 2025, when the tech behemoth agreed to invest Rs.60,000 crore in data centres in Telangana.
AWS Global Public Policy Vice President Michael Punke took part in the meeting. The leaders discussed the Telangana government’s supportive role in creating a welcoming environment for establishing data center 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.
The AWS will be expanding its data centres in Hyderabad in a big way with plans for fresh investment of around Rs.60000 crore. 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.
The AWS had earlier announced to invest USD 4.4billion by 2030 to develop its cloud infrastructure in Telangana. It has so far developed three sites in the state with an investment of around US $1 billion. These three centres are already operational.
AWS has requested the government for facilitating 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, 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 one year have truly borne fruit. This is Telangana Rising vision at work.” Sridhar Babu said that with this deal, Hyderabad is set to be recognised as data centres hub of India and an undisputed leader in the space.
