L&T Energy GreenTech, ITOCHU to Develop 300 KTPA Green Ammonia Plant in Gujarat

L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, has signed a Joint Development Agreement with Japan’s ITOCHU Corporation to set up and commercialise a 300,000 tonnes per annum (KTPA) green ammonia project at Kandla, Gujarat.

Under the deal, ITOCHU will offtake the green ammonia for bunkering applications in Singapore, supporting the maritime sector’s shift toward zero-emission fuels. The move aligns with both companies’ decarbonisation goals and builds on L&T’s acquisition last year of land in Kandla for green hydrogen and ammonia projects.

Commenting on the collaboration, Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director and President, L&T, said, “As the global energy landscape shifts decisively towards sustainability, L&T remains deeply committed to driving the clean energy transition through innovation, strategic partnerships, and engineering excellence. The partnership with ITOCHU reflects L&T’s larger vision of enabling a cleaner, greener future through sustainable business focus.”

Hiroyuki Tsubai, Executive Vice President, Member of the Board, President, Machinery Company of ITOCHU Corporation, said, “Through this joint development with one of the largest and most respected companies in India’s private sector, L&T Group, our initiatives to introduce low-carbon ammonia to the maritime sector as an alternative zero-emission fuel will be reinforced. With this collaboration, Kandla, located on the west coast of India, will become the principal production centre of green ammonia for ITOCHU’s bunkering operations in Singapore.”

The venture also aligns with India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, which targets at least 5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of green hydrogen production by 2030, with expected investments exceeding USD 100 billion.
