Amazon will invest over USD 35 bn in India by 2030 to scale AI capabilities<\/strong>, expand <\/strong>logistics, and deepen its export base<\/strong>, amid a wave of big tech capital pledges to India, Reuters<\/a> reports. This week Microsoft committed USD 17.5 bn<\/a> for cloud and AI infrastructure by 2030. Google has also pledged USD 15 bn investment over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Strategic escalation:<\/strong> The e-commerce giant, which has already pumped USD 40 bn since 2010, is scaling aggressively in the e-retail industry to counter Walmart and Reliance. <\/p>\n

The bigger competition picture: <\/strong>Amazon will push front and centre on AI capacity-building, supply-chain upgrades, and small-business enablement in India. The accelerated spending comes as competition intensifies with Walmart-backed Flipkart and Reliance Retail. For a market with surging digital consumption, the investment wave signals that India is now a mega battleground of competition for US tech giants and more established local giants.<\/p>\n

Transnet<\/strong> finalizes Durban port concession agreement with ICTS: <\/strong>South Africa\u2019s rail and port operator Transnet has finalized a 25-year concession agreement with the Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services<\/a>(ICTS)<\/a> for the main terminal at Durban port, Bloomberg<\/a> reports. The concession would see the company owned by Filipino b\u2019naire Enrique Razon invest USD 647 mn into Durban \u2014 Africa\u2019s busiest container hub. <\/p>\n

About the terminal: <\/strong>Durban\u2019s second terminal handles more than 40% of South Africa\u2019s container volumes, and 70% of Durban\u2019s, the news outlet reports, citing Transnet CEO Michelle Phillips.<\/p>\n

The agreement could be a first of many to come, as South Africa works to reel in private <\/strong>sector investments to revamp its ailing ports<\/strong>, which have been dragged down by allegations of corruption and poor performance. Transnet ports rank among the least efficient in the world, undermining the country\u2019s coal and iron ore exports.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Durban is on our radar in the region: <\/strong>Saudi\u2019s Red Sea Gateway Terminal International (RSGTI) was reportedly eyeing<\/a> a potential USD 600 mn bid to develop and operate a fresh produce terminal at South Africa\u2019s Durban port as of May. Reports also linked RSGTI to the port of Cape Town. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
