India's Green Revolution: AM Green Ammonia's Bold Step Forward
Kakinada, Friday, 7 November 2025.
AM Green Ammonia’s Kakinada project aims to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia annually, boosting India’s green hydrogen capabilities and energy transition goals. Imagine: a cleaner future, one molecule at a time!
Investment Decision: A Leap Towards Sustainability
AM Green Ammonia BV, part of the Greenko Group, has officially made its Final Investment Decision (FID) for a groundbreaking green ammonia project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. This ambitious project aims to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia annually, marking a significant step towards sustainable ammonia production in India [1]. Imagine a cleaner future, one molecule at a time! The initiative promises to bolster India’s green hydrogen capabilities and contribute significantly to the country’s energy transition goals [1].
Powering the Future with Renewable Energy
The Kakinada project will be powered by a substantial 1,300 MW of carbon-free energy, sourced from a combination of 4,500 MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity and 950 MW of pumped storage capacity [1]. This impressive setup includes a 25-year power purchase agreement with NTPC, covering half of the required power capacity, while Gentari, Petronas’ renewable energy arm, is expected to provide the remainder [1]. This strategic move places Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of India’s renewable energy landscape.
Aiming for a Greener Tomorrow
Beyond the immediate goals, AM Green Ammonia BV has its sights set on a broader vision. The company plans to achieve a production capacity of 5 million tonnes per year (MTPA) of green ammonia by 2030 [1]. This ambitious target underscores the company’s commitment to providing carbon-free energy solutions globally. Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of Greenko Group, emphasized the importance of meeting the highest standards, including EU RFNBO norms, as part of their global sustainability commitment [1].
Collaborations and Future Prospects
In a strategic collaboration, Norway-based Yara Clean Ammonia signed a term sheet with Greenko ZeroC, AM Green’s green ammonia production arm, for the long-term supply of up to 50% of renewable ammonia from the Kakinada production facility [1]. This partnership will ensure a steady supply of green ammonia, vital for industries aiming to reduce their carbon footprint. Furthermore, the involvement of Gentari, through a previous agreement to produce 5 MTPA of green ammonia using renewable energy sources, highlights the collaborative efforts to scale up India’s green ammonia production [1].
Conclusion: A Bright Horizon
The AM Green Ammonia project in Kakinada is not just a step forward for the company but a leap for India’s green energy ambitions. With a robust framework, strategic partnerships, and a vision for sustainable growth, the project is set to pave the way for a cleaner, greener future. This initiative is a testament to India’s potential to lead in the global green energy transition, setting an example for other nations to follow.
