Amazon Bedrock announced that Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5 and Claude Haiku 4.5 are now available through a geographic cross‑Region inference profile for India. The profile routes requests between the Mumbai (ap‑south‑1) and Hyderabad (ap‑south‑2) regions, so input and output stay within the country. This lets customers meet local data‑ residency rules and tap a larger pool of compute for steadier performance.

## The facts

- Models launched on Sep 30 2026 for India (ap‑south‑1 and ap‑south‑2).
- Inference profile keeps data in‑country and bills to the source region.

## Why it matters

It lets Indian developers use powerful Claude models while complying with data‑locality requirements.
