Poland-based renewable energy firm Hynfra has unveiled plans to construct a $4.05 billion green hydrogen and ammonia facility in India’s Andhra Pradesh state, in partnership with local conglomerate JK Srivastava Group.
The large-scale plant, set to rise near the strategic port city of Visakhapatnam, will have the capacity to produce up to one million tonnes of green ammonia annually. Operations are scheduled to commence by early 2029, positioning the project as one of the largest of its kind in South Asia.
The initiative underscores India’s growing role as a global hub for green energy, leveraging its renewable resources and geographical advantage to serve both domestic and international markets. The project is a joint venture that combines Hynfra’s expertise in clean energy technologies with JK Srivastava’s industrial and logistical presence in the region.
A significant portion of the green ammonia output will be exported to key East Asian economies, including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. These countries are increasingly turning to green ammonia as a low-carbon solution to decarbonise their power sectors, particularly through coal co-firing strategies.
“The demand for clean hydrogen derivatives is surging in Asia, and this plant is designed to directly support that energy transition,” said a Hynfra spokesperson. “It is not just about exports—it’s about regional energy security, climate commitments, and building a transnational clean energy corridor.”
The remainder of the plant’s production will serve India’s growing domestic demand, particularly in sectors such as fertiliser manufacturing, long-distance transport, thermal power blending, and digital infrastructure requiring green energy inputs.
Andhra Pradesh’s proximity to deep-sea ports and abundant solar and wind resources make it an ideal location for such an investment. The Visakhapatnam site will benefit from logistics efficiency, renewable power integration, and access to skilled labour and existing infrastructure.
This development is part of India’s broader national strategy to become a global green hydrogen hub, with the government offering incentives and policy support to attract large-scale projects. Under its National Green Hydrogen Mission, India aims to produce five million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030.
As the global clean energy transition accelerates, Hynfra’s project in India marks a major step in reshaping the regional ammonia and hydrogen supply chain—laying the groundwork for deeper Indo-European cooperation in sustainable energy.
