Amazon tells Indian stakeholders it is taking steps to reduce and offset water use as scrutiny continues over the water consumption of its data centres and offices. The company says it has become “water positive” in India during the current year, asserting that it returns more water to local communities than it uses for its operations. Its statement points to measures aimed at water conservation and replenishment connected to its facilities, including data centres and office operations.
Separately, Amazon also highlights that it is expanding its presence in India. It says it plans to invest more than $35 billion by 2030 to support AI capabilities and exports, which it links to the growth of its operational footprint.
While reporting focuses on the company’s response to concerns about water use, the available coverage centers on Amazon’s stated conservation and replenishment efforts rather than providing independent verification or specific audit details. The overall picture across outlets is that Amazon is defending its water practices while pursuing larger investments in India tied to technology and export growth.
