Larsen & Toubro’s wholly owned subsidiary L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd has entered into a significant long-term partnership with Japan’s ITOCHU Corporation to supply green ammonia, strengthening India’s role in the global clean energy transition.
Under the agreement, LTEGL will supply 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually to ITOCHU on a captive long-term take-or-pay basis. The supply will originate from LTEGL’s proposed green ammonia production facility at Kandla, Gujarat, positioning the region as a key export hub for low-carbon fuels.
The agreement was formally signed at ITOCHU’s headquarters in Tokyo by Derek M Shah and Hiroyuki Tsubai. The signing ceremony was attended by senior leadership, including Masahiro Okafuji and S N Subrahmanyan, highlighting the strategic importance of the partnership.
This long-term deal builds on the Joint Development Agreement signed between the two companies in July 2025, marking a transition from project collaboration to securing firm demand. The partnership is a crucial step toward establishing a globally competitive green ammonia value chain.
ITOCHU plans to utilise the green ammonia for its expanding bunkering operations, particularly in key maritime hubs such as Singapore. As one of the world’s leading marine fuel centres, Singapore is emerging as a critical hub for ammonia bunkering, supporting the shipping industry’s shift toward cleaner fuels.
The collaboration aligns with global decarbonisation goals in the maritime sector, where green ammonia is increasingly seen as a viable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. By enabling early adoption of low-carbon marine fuels, the agreement supports the broader push toward sustainable shipping.
For LTEGL, the deal reinforces its strategy to scale up green hydrogen and its derivatives, including green ammonia. The Kandla project is expected to play a central role in India’s ambitions under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to position the country as a leading exporter of green energy solutions.
