en.Wedoany.com Reported - India-based green energy developer AM Green has expanded its footprint to the southern coast, signing a memorandum of understanding with the V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority (VOC Port) in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, to establish a renewable ammonia production facility with an annual capacity of 1 million tonnes.

The project aims to transform this deep-water port in South India into a green ammonia export hub, supplying clean fuel produced from solar and wind energy to international shipping and industrial markets. Under India's National Green Hydrogen Mission, Thoothukudi is one of three ports designated as pilot ammonia bunkering hubs in the country.

AM Green had previously reached a final investment decision for a plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, and signed a co-located port agreement, reinforcing its export-oriented development model. The newly signed MoU in Thoothukudi extends AM Green's presence to India's southern coast, where abundant renewable energy resources and convenient maritime export routes give the project competitive economics.

This agreement expands the scale of announced green ammonia capacity in India. These capacity additions are driven by competitive auctions conducted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India under the SIGHT program, which have resulted in 10-year supply contracts at prices significantly below global benchmark levels.
