Andhra Pradesh has launched India’s first green ammonia project, marking a significant investment in the country’s clean energy and industrial landscape. The $10‑billion facility, developed by AM Green, is set up near Kakinada Port on a brownfield site formerly used for ammonia‑urea production. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan inaugurated the project, emphasizing its potential to drive economic growth and sustainable industrial development.
At full capacity, the complex will produce 1.5 million tonnes of green ammonia annually, making it the largest facility of its kind in the world. Commissioning is planned in phases: 0.5 million tonnes per year by 2027, scaling to 1 million tonnes in 2028, and reaching full output by 2030.
The facility integrates large-scale renewable energy infrastructure, including 7.5 GW of solar and wind power, 1,950 MW of electrolyser capacity for green hydrogen, and 2 GW of continuous renewable energy supported by pumped hydro storage. These capabilities will make the project not only a clean energy milestone but also a strategic hub for industrial hydrogen-based exports.
The venture is expected to generate up to 8,000 jobs during construction, with additional long-term employment in sectors such as renewable energy operations, logistics, port management, and storage. AM Green has already secured supply agreements with Germany’s Uniper and is exploring partnerships with companies in Japan and Singapore, signaling strong international interest.
The project aligns with Andhra Pradesh’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy, 2024, reinforcing the state’s position as a leader in renewable energy and clean fuel exports. Analysts note that this initiative could significantly boost India’s presence in the global green ammonia market, a sector increasingly critical for shipping, power generation, and as a carrier of green hydrogen.
