AM Green’s $10-billion green ammonia project will be commissioned in phases through 2030
Expansion of transmission infra, expansion of PM Surya Ghar and green hydrogen scale-up are among the steps the government will take to meet its clean-energy targets, the new and renewable energy minister tells Moneycontrol
Global policy uncertainty has dampened export-linked offtake under India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), slowing final investment decisions and pushing back timelines for large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia projects.
In Kutch, RIL also plans to build facilities for production of green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel.
L&T Energy Greentech plans to invest nearly Rs 80,000 crore to build its mega green hydrogen and green ammonia plants at Kandla and Paradip ports. It will soon tap the export market, starting with the Middle East, for its Made-In-India electrolysers, CEO Derek M Shah told Moneycontrol.
The discovered price Rs 55.75 per kg translates to approximately $641 per MT, a substantial drop from the previously discovered price of Rs 100.28 per kg ($1,153 per MT) in the H2Global auction in 2024.
State-owned Solar Energy Corporation of India has given a record 11th extension to its 724,000-tonne green ammonia tender, with the last date for submission of bids now set as July 10 (online) and July 14 (offline).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 16 reiterated India’s commitment to finalising the long-awaited FTA with the EU by the end of 2025
The proposed green hydrogen hub in Mundra will require 22 GW renewable energy, followed by the proposed hub at Kandla port. In total, Gujarat alone would require 32.3 GW of renewable electricity for its green hydrogen hubs, according to the National Electricity Plan.
The funds proposed to be raised will be used by Gentari to set up around 2,400 megawatts (MW) of solar and wind assets in the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Producers are concerned about commercial viability due to the capex-intensive nature of the business, which results in low profitability. The government can somewhat address this by doubling the offtake period to 20 years.
Hygenco develops and deploys commercial green hydrogen and ammonia production systems.
The project, which will see its first phase operational by the second half of 2026, involves the establishment of a green hydrogen generation unit and its conversion into green ammonia.
Joshi also said that a tender for 7.5 lakh TPA of green ammonia is currently live, with additional tenders for 4.5 lakh TPA capacity also floated
There is a large difference in the cost of production between grey and green ammonia. The cost of natural gas is a major element of the cost for the production of grey ammonia.

The allocation for the fertiliser sector has been increased from 5.5 lakh tonnes per annum to 7.5 lakh tonnes per annum of Green Ammonia.
Renewable energy production is expected to generate investment opportunities worth almost $80 billion by 2030
The renewable energy company plans to build a portfolio of about 10 million tonnes of green ammonia or its equivalent in hydrogen production by 2030.
In August last year, Moneycontrol reported that the government is going to come out with a pilot for green hydrogen or green ammonia for energy storage to ensure round-the-clock renewable power
Japanese company IHI Corporation will be supporting the project to set up the 1.2 million tonne plant that is expected to require $5 billion of total investment, the ACME Group said
This is the first incentive scheme specifically for the production of green ammonia under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. Moneycontrol was the first to report the incentive scheme plan in May last year.
The New Year is set to see renewable energy growth, coal fired capacity addition, solar manufacturing expansion, and the commissioning of major hydropower projects.
A number of states are following the central government in offering incentives on the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia. Moneycontrol looks at some of these state government incentives, which will be available along with what the centre offers.
The government is soon going to come out with a pilot bid for 100 MW of green hydrogen as energy storage.
