Amazon Bedrock Brings Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5, and Haiku 4.5 to India Inference
AWS says three Anthropic Claude models are now available in India through Amazon Bedrock geographic cross-Region inference, with data processing within the India Regions. Users can access them through the Bedrock console or the Messages, InvokeModel, and Converse APIs.

Full Report
AWS announced on September 30, 2026, that Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Haiku 4.5 are available in India through Amazon Bedrock geographic cross-Region inference. AWS says customers can access the models while processing data within the India Regions.
AWS lists the Amazon Bedrock console and the Messages, InvokeModel, and Converse APIs as ways to get started. That gives developers both a console-based entry point and the named API options for connecting the models to applications and workflows.
The announcement follows another recent expansion of Amazon Bedrock’s model lineup. On September 28, AWS announced that xAI’s Grok 4.7 was available on the service; this update adds India-region inference availability for three Claude models.
Why This Matters
For teams that need data processed within the India Regions, the announcement provides a route to use these three Claude models through Amazon Bedrock and identifies several access methods. This describes the announced processing location and product availability; it is not a guarantee of compliance with any particular regulation.
