Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has signed a binding long-term supply and purchase agreement (SPA) with Samsung C&T Corporation for the export of green ammonia over a 15-year period.

The agreement, valued at more than $3 billion, is scheduled to commence in the second half of FY2029 and is among the larger long-term green ammonia offtake contracts announced to date.

The deal supports India’s ambitions under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to position the country as a global producer and exporter of green hydrogen and its derivatives.

RIL said the ammonia will be produced through an integrated domestic value chain, including renewable energy generation, hydrogen production and downstream processing into green fuels.

The company is developing a broader new energy ecosystem that includes renewable power, energy storage, hydrogen production and green chemicals. This platform is supported by domestic manufacturing of key technologies such as solar modules, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and electrolyser units.

According to RIL, the integration of these capabilities is intended to support scalable production of green fuels for both domestic use and export markets.

Anant Ambani, Executive Director of Reliance Industries Limited, said:

“We are proud to partner with Samsung C&T to supply green ammonia that is cost-competitive and reliable. This partnership marks an important step in India’s clean-energy journey. RIL’s New Energy initiative aims not only to advance the energy transition but also to build a strong industrial platform for India by integrating India’s renewable resources with the country’s manufacturing leadership, world-class talent and innovation to produce value-added green fuels and chemicals at scale.

At the heart of this vision is our commitment to indigenising the critical technologies of the energy transition — Solar, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and Electrolysers — under a strong Make-in-India framework. Partnerships such as this will help scale our green hydrogen ecosystem and gigafactories, while contributing to India’s ambition of becoming a global hub for green hydrogen and its derivatives.”

The agreement is expected to be the first in a series of long-term offtake partnerships supporting the scale-up of RIL’s green hydrogen and ammonia production capacity.

The development reflects increasing global demand for green ammonia as a low-carbon fuel and hydrogen carrier, particularly in markets seeking alternatives to fossil fuels for power generation, shipping and industrial use.
