India's AM Green targets full offtake for giant green ammonia plant by mid-2027

NEW DELHI, Nov 3 (Reuters) - India's AM Green Ammonia expects to secure buyers by mid-2027 for the 1 million metric tons per year of green ammonia it aims to produce at its facility in southern India, its chief executive said.
Demand for green fuels has strengthened in 2026 in Japan, South Korea and Europe, Gautam Reddy Kumbam said at the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit.
The facility in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, is expected to begin production in early 2028, with output reaching 500,000 tons by mid-2028 and 1 million tonnes by March-2029.
Germany's Uniper has signed a deal to buy up to 500,000 tons per year.
AM Green's production is earmarked entirely for export markets. India is targeting production of 5 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030.
Green ammonia, produced using green hydrogen generated from renewable energy, is viewed as a key export fuel and feedstock for decarbonising industries such as refining, shipping, power generation and fertilisers.
The company is backed by AM Green, Malaysia's Gentari, Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
