Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Government on Friday announced a major global milestone in India’s clean-energy journey with the first major equipment erection ceremony of AM Green’s green hydrogen and green ammonia complex at Kakinada on January 17.
The landmark event will be attended by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan, marking a defining moment for Andhra Pradesh and for India’s position in the global green-energy value chain.
“This project is not just an industrial investment—it is a statement of intent. Andhra Pradesh is leading India into the era of clean-energy exports and global climate leadership,” the government spokesperson stated.
With a total investment of $10 billion, the AM Green project represents one of the largest clean-energy investments ever made in India. The project will generate up to 8,000 jobs during the construction phase, besides creating large-scale, high-skill employment during operations and across allied industries such as renewables, logistics, storage, and port services .
For the first time in India’s history, green energy molecules produced domestically will be exported to global markets, including Germany, Japan, and Singapore, firmly positioning India—and Andhra Pradesh—as a clean-energy exporter on the world stage.
AM Green is setting up India’s first and the world’s largest green ammonia complex, with a planned capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) at Kakinada. The project is being developed through the brownfield conversion of an existing ammonia-urea complex, representing one of the country’s most significant industrial revival stories .
The project will be commissioned in phases: 0.5 MTPA by 2027, one MTPA by 2028 and 1.5 MTPA by 2030.
The project includes 7.5 GW of solar and wind energy, 1,950 MW of electrolyser capacity, and 2 GW of round-the-clock renewable power, supported by pumped hydro storage, including India’s first such project at Pinnapuram.
AM Green has already entered into long-term supply agreements with leading global players, including Uniper (Germany), and is engaged with major companies in Japan and Singapore, making this the first instance of green energy exports from India to Europe and advanced Asian markets.
Green ammonia from Kakinada will be used globally for clean shipping fuel, power generation, and as a pathway to green hydrogen, supporting international decarbonisation goals.
