Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan have inaugurated AM Green’s 1.5 MTPA Green Ammonia and Green Hydrogen Complex at Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The project’s first major equipment erection also marks the start of construction.
The Kakinada facility will integrate 7.5 GW of renewable energy capacity, 2 GW of pumped storage and 1,950 MW of electrolyser capacity to enable large-scale production of green ammonia with zero CO₂ emissions. Once operational, the complex is expected to set a new benchmark for sustainable industrial infrastructure and strengthen India’s position as a global hub for green energy exports, stated AM Green.
“The world is actively seeking cleaner and more sustainable alternatives for the future. Green ammonia is one such transformative alternative, with applications ranging from clean fuels to sustainable fertilisers. Andhra Pradesh is proud to take a historic step in this direction. Kakinada will now host the world’s largest green ammonia project, contributing meaningfully to India’s clean energy transition and to global decarbonisation efforts,” said CM Naidu.
He further added, “When we launched Andhra Pradesh’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy in October 2024, we committed to making AP India’s Green Hydrogen Hub. Today marks a proud milestone as equipment erection begins for AM Green’s 1.5 MTPA green ammonia project in Kakinada, moving AP closer to becoming a net exporter of green energy. Green ammonia produced in Kakinada will be exported to Germany and other global markets – a first-of-its-kind project globally.”
Beyond decarbonisation, the project is expected to deliver significant economic benefits by reviving legacy industrial infrastructure, generating employment during construction and operations, and catalysing the development of a broader clean energy ecosystem in the region, stated AM Green.
