Amazon Web Services (AWS) is making a landmark investment of Rs 60,000 crore to expand its data centre infrastructure in Telangana, announced the state government. This new culmination in Hyderabad aims to significantly bolster AWS's cloud service offerings across India.

The announcement came following meetings between Telangana's Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu, and key AWS executives including Michael Punke, Vice President of Global Public Policy, at the World Economic Forum in Davos. They discussed Telangana's welcoming environment for data centres and the state's strategic importance to AWS's operations.
