JK Srivastava Group and Hynfra Announce $4 Billion Green Ammonia Project in Andhra Pradesh

A major green hydrogen and ammonia facility is set to take shape near the port of Visakhapatnam, as JK Srivastava Hynfra (JKSH), a joint venture between the JK Srivastava Group and Poland-based Hynfra, signs a Memorandum of Understanding with the New and Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (NREDCAP).

The large-scale project will involve an estimated investment of ₹35,000 crore (approximately USD 4 billion) and aims to produce up to one million tonnes of green ammonia annually. The project will also install 3 GW of renewable energy capacity, drawing from solar and wind sources supported by battery storage and advanced energy management systems. Operations are expected to begin in early 2029.

A significant portion of the green ammonia produced will be exported to key markets such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, where it will be used for co-firing in power plants as part of their decarbonization strategies. The remainder will support India’s domestic sectors including fertilizers, power generation, transportation and digital infrastructure.

“This agreement formalizes our cooperation with the Government of Andhra Pradesh and marks the beginning of one of the largest green ammonia projects in the Asia Pacific region,” said the Chairman and Managing Director of JKSH. “With its scalability and reliance on clean energy, the project strengthens India’s position as a future supplier of strategic energy carriers.”

Tomoho Umeda, Board Member of JKSH and President of Hynfra, highlighted the alignment with India’s energy transition goals. “This project combines over a century of chemical synthesis expertise with India’s vision to lead in clean energy. We aim to deliver a green hydrogen and ammonia platform that meets rigorous global standards, including Renewable Fuels of Non Biological Origin (RFNBO) certification.” The facility will also serve as a key export hub within Andhra Pradesh’s broader Green Hydrogen Valley initiative, which envisions an integrated cluster for the production, storage, transportation and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
