Reliance said the binding supply and purchase agreement would see it begin supplying green ammonia to Samsung C&T from the financial year 2029, while volumes remain undisclosed.

It’s also unclear how Samsung C&T – which operates a trading and investment division focused on energy, metals and chemicals – would look to use the hydrogen and nitrogen compound made by Reliance.

Details of production are unconfirmed. Reliance has built its green ammonia strategy around a massive integrated energy hub in Jamnagar. The project will include manufacturing for electrolysers, batteries and other clean-energy technologies.

By 2032, it intends to produce up to three million tonnes of green hydrogen – 60% of India’s 2030 national target. Reliance was granted green hydrogen production subsidies of $0.23/kg under a government tender for 90,000 tonnes of production capacity.

In 2024, Reliance inked an exclusive license agreement to manufacture and sell electrolysers based on technology from Norway’s Nel.

However, Reliance said the offtake deal was the “first in a series” of contracts aimed at scaling up the company’s new energy platform.

India is establishing itself as an early large-scale supplier of green molecules to regions like Europe and South Asia, which have set ambitious targets for consumption.
