Amazon India's about $1 billion worth of investment could get stuck as the company is facing stiff regulatory hurdles, unidentified sources told the newspaper.

Amazon India is in talks with the government seeking clarifications regarding several aspects of the latest foreign direct investment (FDI) policies to carry on with business as usual, the report said.

However, sources said that it is highly unlikely for the policies to change so close to the General Elections despite a plea from the domestic retail businesses.

Amazon, in the last five years, has invested $3.5-$4 billion in India, part of the $5.5 billion commitment made by the world's largest e-commerce platform to its Indian operations, the report said.
