They are more or less done building the network. Right now they're converting to EVs. The article mentions this. When every other retailer is buying fuel to deliver those packages Amazon will be raking in the savings.

And since the invest in capacity is not trivial, they'd love to see Amazon to contribute. So Amazon has to invest in someones capacity, so it can easily be their own. And in India, well, there it is either your own capacity or none at all.
