Amazon is actively seeking to expand its operations in India by requesting the Indian government to relax foreign investment rules, allowing it to purchase products directly from Indian sellers for international shipping. This move aims to simplify customs processes and open global markets to Indian sellers. However, this proposal faces resistance from local trade groups who argue that such changes could harm small retailers. Despite these challenges, Amazon is committed to increasing its Indian exports from $13 billion to $80 billion by 2030, as the country’s e-commerce market is expected to grow significantly.
On Wall Street, Amazon’s stock (AMZN) is receiving strong support from analysts, with a consensus rating of ‘Strong Buy.’ The average price target for AMZN stock is $263.93, suggesting a potential upside of 15.3% from its current levels.
