Amazon Web Services (AWS) is planning to invest $429.8 million in a data center near Taloja in Navi Mumbai, India. The cloud provider has applied to the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority for environmental clearance for the project, which is planned for a 49-acre site.
According to Hindustan Times, AWS plans to construct six buildings on the site, four of which will be seven-story data center facilities. The remaining two buildings will be two stories tall and will support the electrical and water infrastructure. The data center campus is expected to have a total capacity of 473MW.
The site near Taloja falls within the boundaries of Asode and Burdul villages and was acquired by AWS in late 2024 from Macrotech Developers for Rs 450 crore ($48.35 million). The company also purchased 38.18 acres of land from Lodha in Palava, near Navi Mumbai, in December 2024. In December 2025, Amazon committed to investing $35 billion in India, including in data centers and AI infrastructure. Earlier that year, AWS also announced plans to spend $8.3 billion on expanding cloud infrastructure for its Asia-Pacific (Mumbai) region.
AWS launched its Mumbai region in 2016 and invested $3.7 billion into it between 2016 and 2022. The company later introduced a cloud region in Hyderabad in 2022 and, late last year, announced plans to invest a further $7 billion to expand its data center footprint there. Navi Mumbai, located just east of Mumbai, is already a major data center hub, with operators including STT GDC, L&T, Sify, Colt, Equinix, and Bridge Data Centres.
