The government of Andhra Pradesh, under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, revealed plans to host India’s inaugural and the world’s largest green ammonia project in Kakinada. AM Green is spearheading a Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia Complex with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum, with a significant $10 billion investment.
The project, set to commence with a major equipment erection ceremony, is expected to create around 8,000 jobs during construction and offer substantial employment opportunities in various sectors post-completion. This initiative marks a milestone as India will export domestically produced green energy molecules to global markets like Germany, Japan, and Singapore.
Andhra Pradesh aims to establish itself as a key player in the clean energy sector, with Minister for Information Technology Nara Lokesh envisioning the state as the “Saudi Arabia of green energy.” The project, evolving from the conversion of an existing ammonia-urea complex, is scheduled for completion in three phases by 2030, with AM Green already securing long-term supply agreements with international partners.
