India’s AM Green and Japan’s Mitsui & Co. have signed a non-binding agreement to explore equity investment and long-term offtake in AM Green’s green aluminium platform — a move that highlights accelerating momentum behind low-carbon industrial metals.
🔋 What stands out
- 1 MTPA aluminium smelter and 2 MTPA alumina refinery
- Powered entirely by solar, wind, and hydropower
- Planned location: Andhra Pradesh, India
- Positioned as a first-of-its-kind integrated green aluminium facility globally
Aluminium remains one of the most carbon-intensive industrial materials, largely due to coal-powered smelting. Replacing fossil energy with renewables at scale could materially reshape supply chains across automotive, construction, packaging, and energy transition sectors.
For Mitsui, the partnership aligns with securing future-facing industrial inputs.
For AM Green, it signals growing international confidence in India as a hub for clean industrial manufacturing, not just clean energy generation.
This is less about symbolism — and more about hard infrastructure meeting decarbonisation economics.
