Kakinada is envisioned to be a green industrial cluster, providing industrial decarbonization solutions to the world from India. It involves creation of a green ammonia production at Kakinada, a port-located industrial complex in Andhra Pradesh, India. The facility with 1 million tons production capacity, will be powered by round-the-clock (RTC) renewable electricity. The cluster will house a 2 GW electrolyzer manufacturing facility and multiple green chemicals production facilities including ammonia, hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, etc.
