Yamna, through its wholly owned subsidiary YamnaCo India Private Limited, received approval from the Andhra Pradesh government for the first phase of its proposed green ammonia project in India. The approval marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand its global clean energy and green hydrogen derivatives portfolio. The large-scale project will be developed in Andhra Pradesh and is expected to support India’s growing ambitions in green hydrogen, renewable fuels, and export-oriented clean energy infrastructure.
Project planned in two phases with 1 MTPA capacity target
The proposed green ammonia facility is planned in two development phases with a total targeted production capacity of one million tons per annum (1 MTPA). As part of the initial approval, the Andhra Pradesh state cabinet has cleared Phase one of the project, which will include 0.5 MTPA of green ammonia production capacity. The first phase involves an estimated capital investment of approximately $1 billion. The project represents one of the significant green ammonia investments being developed in India as the country accelerates efforts to become a global hub for green hydrogen and sustainable fuel exports.
Strategic location near Krishnapatnam Port supports exports
To support the project’s development, the Andhra Pradesh government has approved the allocation of land in Chillakur and Kota Mondal in Tirupati District, strategically located near Krishnapatnam Port. The proximity to the port is expected to strengthen export capabilities and improve logistics for international shipment of green ammonia and other clean energy derivatives. The location also aligns with India’s broader strategy of building integrated renewable energy and export infrastructure along key coastal industrial corridors.
Project to benefit from Andhra Pradesh clean energy incentives
The green ammonia project will qualify for several incentives under Andhra Pradesh’s Integrated Clean Energy (ICE) Policy. These incentives include capital subsidies, tax benefits, and support for grid connectivity infrastructure. The policy framework is designed to attract investments in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and low-carbon industrial projects while supporting the state’s vision of becoming a leading clean energy hub in India. The approval further reinforces Andhra Pradesh’s positioning as a major destination for green hydrogen and sustainable fuels investments.
Yamna strengthens global green energy portfolio
According to Abdelaziz Yatribi, CEO, Yamna, the project represents a key step in building Yamna’s globally diversified clean energy portfolio. “The approval of the Andhra Pradesh green ammonia project represents an important step for Yamna to build a globally diversified portfolio of clean energy assets,” said Yatribi. He further added that the company looks forward to advancing the project into the next stage of development and implementation.
Project enters detailed development phase
Following the government approval, the project will now move into the detailed development and implementation stage. This phase is expected to include engineering studies, infrastructure planning, permitting activities, and project execution planning. The Andhra Pradesh green ammonia facility also strengthens Yamna’s broader pipeline of green molecules and hydrogen derivative projects across international markets.
Green ammonia gains momentum in global energy transition
Green ammonia is increasingly emerging as a critical component of the global energy transition due to its potential applications in clean shipping fuels, power generation, fertilizers, and hydrogen transportation. As countries and industries work toward decarbonisation goals, large-scale green ammonia projects are attracting significant global investments. India, in particular, is rapidly expanding its green hydrogen ecosystem through supportive policies, renewable energy integration, and export-focused infrastructure development. As per the press release, with this latest approval, Yamna joins the growing list of companies investing in India’s emerging green hydrogen and ammonia economy while contributing to the development of low-carbon industrial infrastructure.
