AM Green Ammonia Reaches Final Investment Decision for Green Ammonia Project in AP
The total project spending for the plant, located in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh will include a green hydrogen generation unit and its subsequent conversion to green ammonia. The company targets one million tons annually by 2026, with a long-term goal of 5 million tons by 2030.

The company in a statement has informed that the total project spend for the plant will include a green hydrogen generation unit and its subsequent conversion to green ammonia, along with all associated balance of plant and infrastructure.
“This project will be located at an existing urea plant in Kakinada, which the company acquired earlier this year and forms part of the above capex spend. It plans to convert this facility into a green ammonia-producing unit, which will commence production in the second half of 2026,” noted the statement.
The Kakinada facility has been pre-certified by CertifHy as complying with the EU RFNBO requirements for green ammonia, including additionality and hourly matching of renewables. Most of the production from this facility will be exported to European markets.
The company has already executed offtake term sheets for this project with major players such as Uniper, Yara, Keppel and others for intended end use in a range of green hydrogen applications.
The company has secured the required 1300 MW round-the-clock carbon-free power enabled through 4500 MW solar and wind hybrid capacity in combination with 950 MW of PSP capacity. “A 25-year fixed-price power purchase agreement (PPA) with NTPC, covering half of the above, is already in place. The remaining capacity is expected to be supplied by Gentari,” shared the company.
The company has unique access to gigawatt-scale pump storage projects and a manufacturing partnership for electrolysers with John Cockerill of 2GW scale. These reliable, state-of-the-art pressurized alkaline electrolyzers are envisioned to be deployed for this project.
“Leveraging these capabilities provides solutions for the renewable intermittency issues and allows for up to 90% utilisation of electrolyzers deployed, making this one of the most innovative and cost-efficient green ammonia projects globally,” claimed the company.
Talking about the FID status, Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder, Greenko Group and AM Green said, “The FID status achieved by our Kakinada plant underscores our commitment to providing carbon-free energy solutions globally while meeting the highest standards like EU RFNBO norms. This is a significant milestone for AM Green as it reinforces our position as a leading energy transition solutions platform helping to decarbonize industries like refineries, shipping, fertilizers, power generation, chemicals and others through low-cost green molecules and its derivatives.”
He further added that in addition to the Kakinada project, the company is also focused on the production of green ammonia across multiple locations in India to achieve its planned 5 MTPA of green ammonia capacity by 2030. He said, “This will be equivalent to about 1 MTPA of green hydrogen, representing a fifth of India’s target for green hydrogen production under the country’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and 10 percent of Europe’s target for green hydrogen imports by 2030.”
