Hygenco breaks ground on green ammonia plant in India

India-based HHP Five Private Limited (subsidiary of Hygenco Green Energies Pvt Ltd), a pioneer in producing low-cost green hydrogen, marked a major milestone with the groundbreaking ceremony of its green ammonia plant in Gopalpur, Odisha, India, recently. The company says the project underscores Odisha’s emergence as a hub for clean energy-driven industrial growth and positions Gopalpur at the forefront of India’s sustainable future.
Last year, Hygenco commissioned India’s first commercial megawatt scale green hydrogen plant, which will help in decarbonisation of steel sector. Its green ammonia plant in Gopalpur aims to produce 1.1 million tonnes/year in three phases:

• Phase 1 (2028): 220 ktpa
• Phase 2 (2029): Additional 220 ktpa
• Phase 3 (2030+): Full capacity of 730 ktpa

Amit Bansal, Co-founder/CEO, Hygenco Green Energies, said, “Building on our pioneering success in green hydrogen, Hygenco is now setting new benchmarks in India’s green ammonia landscape. With this project, we are not only advancing the energy self-sufficiency but also unlocking export opportunities that will position India as a global leader in green ammonia. Our focus remains on delivering cost-competitive, world-class solutions that will help industries decarbonise and support India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.”

The green ammonia plant is also expected to generate indirect employment opportunities during construction and operation. Strategically located at the Gopalpur port hub, the plant is designed to meet both domestic and global demand for green ammonia, enabling decarbonisation across key industrial sectors.
