Overview

• L&T Energy GreenTech and ITOCHU Corporation have entered a joint development agreement to build and commercialise a 300 KTPA green ammonia facility at Kandla in Gujarat.
• ITOCHU will offtake the plant’s output to supply low-carbon ammonia for maritime bunkering operations in Singapore.
• The Japanese trading house has contracted Sasaki Shipbuilding for a 5,000 cbm ammonia bunkering vessel and Izumi Steel Works for an onboard tank plant scheduled for 2027 delivery.
• The project supports India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to reach at least 5 MMTPA of green hydrogen derivatives by 2030 with over $100 billion in investments.
• Key preparatory steps—including securing financing, obtaining permits, finalising engineering designs and sourcing renewable power—are yet to be completed before construction begins.
