The green ammonia plant Kakinada will be inaugurated on January 17, 2026, by N. Chandrababu Naidu at the facility of AM/NS Green Ammonia India Private Limited, formerly Nagarjuna Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited (NFCL). The event marks a major milestone in reviving the long-idle fertilizer complex at Kakinada.
Ahead of the visit, Kakinada District Superintendent of Police G. Bindu Madhav inspected the helipad and nearby areas. Officials reviewed security arrangements to ensure smooth conduct of the programme.
Revival of NFCL Site Under AM Green Group
The NFCL plant remained non-operational for several years. However, AM Green Ammonia India Limited acquired the facility in early 2024. The transaction received approval from the Competition Commission of India in April 2024.
Following the acquisition, the company initiated plans to start green ammonia production at the Kakinada site. AM Green Ammonia India Limited operates under the AM Green Group, earlier known as Greenko ZeroC.
Export-Focused Green Ammonia Project
Notably, the Kakinada project is among the world’s largest green ammonia developments. A major share of production will be exported to Europe, strengthening India’s role in the global clean energy supply chain.
Capacity Target Linked to Green Hydrogen Mission
The project aims to achieve 5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of green ammonia by 2030. This output equals nearly 1 MMTPA of green hydrogen, which represents about one-fifth of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission target.
Advanced Technology and Renewable Power Use
The green ammonia plant Kakinada will include:
Green hydrogen generation using electrolysers
An air separation unit
A green ammonia synthesis unit
Supporting utilities and infrastructure
Importantly, the facility will use pressurised alkaline electrolysers. These systems will split water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity, ensuring low-carbon production.
Overall, the inauguration of the green ammonia plant Kakinada is expected to boost industrial activity, revive the NFCL site, and support India’s clean energy transition.
