Karnataka enjoys high levels of solar and wind energy resources, making it a favorable location to produce renewable energy, which is required for green hydrogen production. The coastal region of Karnataka, particularly Mangaluru, has access to ports which can facilitate the export of green hydrogen. Proximity to water bodies facilitates the availability of abundant water required for the electrolysis process. Karnataka also has ample land available, which can be utilized for setting up green hydrogen facilities along with supporting utilities.

ABC Cleantech Private Limited (Hyderabad, India) is the highest investor in the state, with 12 active projects worth US$5.8 billion, followed by ACME Group (Haryana, India) with seven active projects worth US$5.56 billion.

ABC Cleantech's two-phase, 1 million-ton-per-annum green ammonia project is at its initial stage, with completion expected by mid-2029, while ACME's two-phase, 1.2 million-ton-per-annum green ammonia project is in the design stage and is expected to be completed by the end of 2028. Subscribers to the GMI Database can read detailed reports on ABC Cleantech's Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects, and ACME Group's Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects
