Andhra Pradesh has secured another major investment, with the announcement of the world’s largest green ammonia project in Kakinada. IT and HR Minister Nara Lokesh revealed the development, calling it a historic achievement for the state.
AM Green will set up a 1.5 MPTA green ammonia export terminal at Kakinada. The project will be powered by 7.5 GW of renewable energy along with 1 GW of pumped hydro storage, making it the largest of its kind globally.
Taking to X, Nara Lokesh said the project marks a turning point for India. Andhra Pradesh will export green energy in the form of ammonia to Germany, Japan, and Singapore.
With an investment of $10 billion, the project is expected to generate around 8000 high-quality jobs. It will place Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of the global green energy value chain.
AM Green will conduct its first equipment election ceremony on January 17. The company is developing the facility by converting an existing ammonia-urea plant at Kakinada.
The commissioning will happen in phases. A capacity of 0.5 MPTA is targeted by 2027, 1 MPTA by 2028, and full capacity by 2030.
The project aligns with the Andhra Pradesh government’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy, 2024. Under this policy, the state aims to attract large investments in green hydrogen and green ammonia.
The facility will generate employment during construction and across allied sectors such as renewable energy, logistics, and port services. This is expected to boost the regional economy significantly.
Green ammonia has multiple uses, including shipping fuel, power generation, and as a carrier for green hydrogen in global markets. It is seen as critical to the energy transition and offers a cleaner alternative for some of the world’s most polluting industries.
India will also benefit by reducing its fertilizer import bill through the domestic use of green ammonia, strengthening energy security and sustainability goals.
Happy to share that AM Green will set up a 1.5 MTPA green ammonia export terminal at Kakinada, powered by ~7.5 GW of renewable energy and ~1 GW of pumped hydro storage.
A historic first for India – exporting green energy in the form of ammonia to Germany, Singapore, and Japan.… https://t.co/OBytJJPio9
