Rely will undertake the engineering, procurement services, construction management and commissioning services (EPsCm) for AM Green Ammonia’s 1.3GW ammonia plant.
Located in Kakinada, India, the project reached a final investment decision (FID) in August (2024). AM Green announced it would use two John Cockerill alkaline electrolysers to produce hydrogen, which Rely will help install.

Under its contract, Rely will provide EPsCm services for the entire facility, including the electrolysers, air separation units for nitrogen, two trains of ammonia synthesis, ammonia storage and loading at the port and offsite utilities.
The plant is scheduled to produce one million tonnes of ammonia by 2026, with plans to scale up to a capacity of five million tonnes by 2030. AM Green is expected to export the hydrogen derivative to Europe from 2026, to the likes of Uniper and Yara.
Damien Eyriés, Rely CEO, claimed the project will “massively contribute” to the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries and that he is proud to support AM Green in achieving this.
“This award marks a significant milestone for Rely, less than a year after its creation, and our team is poised to make a substantial impact on the future of clean energy, driving innovation and setting new standards in the industry,” he added.
Mahesh Kolli, Group President of AM Green, said, “We are excited to partner with Rely to transform our existing green ammonia facility into one of the largest in India. Rely’s technical expertise will significantly enhance our capabilities in this project.”
The former grey ammonia facility has already been awarded pre-certification for compliance with Europe’s renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) criteria for green hydrogen.
Additionally, the Indian firm has said it secured 1,300MW of round-the-clock renewable energy from 4.5GW of solar and wind through a 25-year fixed PPA agreement with NTPC to power the John Cockerill electrolysers.
