Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh has taken a historic step in India’s clean energy transition. The state government announced the launch of the world’s largest green ammonia project at Kakinada. The First Major Equipment Erection Ceremony of AM Green’s Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia Complex will be held on January 17, 2026.
Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Konidala Pawan Kalyan will attend the event. Their presence underlines the project’s national and global importance. Notably, this initiative marks India’s first export of green energy molecules to countries such as Germany, Japan, and Singapore.
With an investment of nearly $10 billion, the AM Green project ranks among the largest clean energy investments in India. During construction, it will create up to 8,000 jobs. Moreover, it will generate long-term, high-skill employment across renewable energy, logistics, storage, and port services. As a result, the regional economy is expected to receive a strong boost.
World’s Largest Green Ammonia Facility
AM Green is developing India’s first and the world’s largest green ammonia complex at Kakinada. The project has a planned capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum. Importantly, it involves the brownfield conversion of an existing ammonia-urea complex. This approach makes it one of India’s most significant industrial revival stories.
The project will be commissioned in phases. Production of 0.5 MTPA is planned by 2027. This will increase to 1.0 MTPA by 2028. Full capacity of 1.5 MTPA is expected by 2030.
Andhra Pradesh’s End-to-End Green Energy Ecosystem
At the same time, the project highlights Andhra Pradesh’s ability to deliver a complete green energy value chain from a single state. This includes large-scale solar and wind power generation. It also covers round-the-clock renewable energy through pumped hydro storage. In addition, the ecosystem supports green hydrogen production, green ammonia manufacturing, and port-based export infrastructure.
The integrated system includes 7.5 GW of solar and wind capacity. It also features 1,950 MW of electrolyser capacity and 2 GW of round-the-clock renewable power. Furthermore, India’s first pumped hydro storage project at Pinnapuram supports reliable energy supply.
India Enters Global Green Energy Exports
AM Green has already signed long-term supply agreements with Germany-based Uniper. Meanwhile, discussions are underway with major companies in Japan and Singapore. Consequently, India will export green energy molecules to Europe and advanced Asian markets for the first time.
Green ammonia from Kakinada will support clean shipping, power generation, and global decarbonisation goals. Overall, aligned with the Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024, this project firmly positions Andhra Pradesh as India’s green hydrogen and green ammonia hub. The state government has reaffirmed its commitment to fast-track approvals and strong infrastructure support, reinforcing its leadership in global clean energy exports.
