L&T Energy GreenTech to Supply 300,000 TPA Green Ammonia to ITOCHU from Kandla, Gujarat

Mumbai: L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEGL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, has signed a long-term partnership with ITOCHU Corporation of Japan. Under the agreement, LTEGL will supply 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia per annum to ITOCHU on a captive, long-term take-or-pay basis from its proposed production facility at Kandla in Gujarat.

The agreement was signed at ITOCHU’s headquarters in Tokyo by Derek M Shah and Hiroyuki Tsubai. The signing took place in the presence of Masahiro Okafuji, S N Subrahmanyan, and Subramanian Sarma, the company said in a press release.

The agreement builds on the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) signed between the two companies in July 2025 and marks a significant progression in their partnership, from joint development to securing long-term demand.

According to the press release, ITOCHU will utilise the green ammonia supplied from Kandla to support its expanding green bunkering applications, in line with its strategy to develop a global green ammonia ecosystem across key maritime trade routes. Singapore, one of the world’s leading marine fuel hubs, is emerging as a key centre for ammonia bunkering. The development marks an important step towards decarbonising the maritime sector and supports the growing adoption of low-carbon fuels in shipping.

As per the company, through this partnership, supplies from Kandla are expected to support ITOCHU’s bunkering operations in Singapore and other locations, enabling the early adoption of green ammonia as a next-generation marine fuel.

Commenting on the development, Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President – L&T, said, “The agreement with ITOCHU is a significant step in translating L&T’s clean energy ambitions into large-scale, bankable projects. By securing long-term demand through a reputed global partner like ITOCHU, we are strengthening the commercial foundation of our green ammonia platform while contributing meaningfully to global decarbonisation.”

Hiroyuki Tsubai, Executive Vice President, Member of the Board, and President – Machinery Company, ITOCHU Corporation, said, “Establishing a reliable and scalable supply of green ammonia is critical to accelerating its adoption as a marine fuel. Our partnership with LTEGL provides a strong and credible supply base, enabling us to expand our bunkering business and support the shipping industry’s transition towards low-carbon operations.” DesGujarat
