Andhra Pradesh is set to host India’s first and the world’s largest green ammonia project at Kakinada, marking a significant milestone in the country’s clean energy transition. Developed by AM Green, the project will convert an existing ammonia-urea facility into a 1.5 million tonnes per annum green ammonia complex: one of India’s most significant industrial revival initiatives to date.

$10 Billion Integrated Clean Energy Investment

With an investment of close to $10 billion in all, the Kakinada project is among the largest clean-energy deals in India. It is configured as a fully integrated system: 7.5 GW of solar and wind capacity, 1,950 MW of electrolyser capacity, and 2 GW of round-the-clock renewable power supported with pumped hydro storage.

A key component of this is a pumped hydro facility at Pinnapuram in Andhra Pradesh-a first-of-its-kind project in the country, guaranteeing seamless, round-the-clock renewable energy for large-scale industrial processes.

Employment Generation and Industrial Revival

It will create employment during its construction phase of up to 8,000 people and immense employment of highly skilled personnel during its operations. Further employment opportunities will arise from the generation of renewable power, logistics, storage, and port services. This will cement Andhra Pradesh as a clean manufacturing and exporting destination.
