Green ammonia deal India moved a step closer to reality as Uniper Global Commodities SE signed a long-term offtake agreement with AM Green Ammonia India Private Limited for renewable ammonia. The agreement covers ammonia certified as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) and marks the first such binding offtake by an Indian company.
The companies exchanged the agreement in Ahmedabad in the presence of Friedrich Merz and Narendra Modi. Michael Lewis and Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty represented Uniper and AM Green.
Green Ammonia Deal India to Supply 500,000 TPA
Under the deal, Uniper will offtake up to 500,000 tonnes per year of green ammonia from AM Green’s projects. The first shipment will begin in 2028 from AM Green’s 1 MTPA plant under construction at Kakinada.
As a result, India strengthens its push to export green hydrogen and green ammonia under the National Hydrogen Mission.
Why the Green Ammonia Deal India Matters for Europe
For Uniper, the agreement expands access to renewable and low-carbon molecules for European customers. Green ammonia works as an industrial feedstock and as a hydrogen carrier. Therefore, it can help cut emissions in chemicals, fertilizers, refining, and later shipping.
Importantly, Uniper and AM Green will work with certification bodies to ensure traceability and strict RFNBO compliance for European end users.
Industry Leaders on the Green Ammonia Deal India
Michael Lewis said the deal forms a core part of Uniper’s strategy to supply renewable molecules at scale. He added that green ammonia offers a cost-effective route to decarbonise CO₂-intensive industries due to mature production technology and no carbon feedstock.
Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty said AM Green designed its renewable ammonia to meet tough European standards using firm and dispatchable clean power. In addition, he noted that the project enables global industries to reduce emissions while positioning India as a reliable supplier.
Mahesh Kolli, Co-Founder of AM Green, said the partnership delivers low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia at competitive prices. He credited focused teamwork and strong investor backing for enabling large-scale execution.
AM Green Ammonia Portfolio and Project Status
AM Green Ammonia is backed by AM Green along with Gentari, GIC, and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). The company is developing green ammonia plants at Kakinada, Tuticorin, and Kandla.
The Kakinada project reached Final Investment Decision in 2024 and has already begun construction. It counts partners such as Casale, Air Liquide, Rely, Toyo, and NTPC Renewables. Once operational, the plant will create over 600 local jobs and avoid around 2 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year.
What Comes Next for the Green Ammonia Deal India
Next, the partners will finalize certification pathways and logistics for European delivery. Meanwhile, construction at Kakinada continues at pace. Together, these steps will help establish one of the first large-scale green ammonia supply corridors between India and Europe.
