Amazon's Maharashtra Footprint
Fadnavis said Mumbai held special significance for Amazon, having hosted the company's first Indian cloud infrastructure region back in June 2016. He noted that the partnership between Maharashtra and Amazon had deepened over the past decade, with progress now visible on the $8.3 billion expansion announced via an MoU with AWS at Davos in 2025. Amazon's biggest single-state commitment, expected to generate 83,100 jobs in India.
The Chief Minister added that Amazon currently operates six fulfilment centres and over 200 delivery stations in the state, supporting more than 22,000 entrepreneurs and small businesses that export to customers worldwide. Thane, Mumbai, Pune, and Kolhapur rank among India's top 50 exporting cities on Amazon, he said.
