¨
Andhra Pradesh to host India’s first green ammonia complex at Kakinada.
¨
The foundation stone of AM Green’s Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia
Complex will be laid at Kakinada, marking a major clean-energy milestone for
Andhra Pradesh.
¨
The ceremony will be presided over by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu
and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on 18 January.
¨
In January 2025, the project has been approved by the Government of
Andhra Pradesh and has moved rapidly from approval to execution within one
year.
¨
An investment of nearly ₹83,000 crore has been committed to establish
one of India’s largest clean-energy ventures.
¨
India’s first and the world’s largest green ammonia complex will be
developed with a planned capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum.
¨
The commissioning will take place in several stages, starting with 0.5
MTPA by 2027, increasing to 1.0 MTPA in 2028, and reaching the full capacity of
1.5 MTPA by 2030.
¨
The facility will be developed through the brownfield conversion of the
Nagarjuna Fertilizers and Chemicals ammonia-urea complex.
¨
The project is expected to generate around 8,000 jobs during the
construction phase and long-term employment across multiple sectors.
¨
Green ammonia from Kakinada will be used for clean shipping fuel, power
generation and as a pathway to green hydrogen.
¨ The plant’s strategic location near Kakinada Port will support India’s clean-energy exports to global markets.
¨ The project aligns with the Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024 and positions Andhra Pradesh as a leader in India’s green-energy transition.
