Since 2017, JERA has been investing in ReNew, a leading independent renewable energy company in India, and the two companies are engaged in the joint development of green ammonia production (announced on April 19, 2024). JERA Energy India has been established to widen business opportunities in the Indian market, which is expected to continue to grow in the future.
As JERA's base of operations in India, JERA Energy India will be primarily responsible for the following:
・Information-gathering on renewable energy, green hydrogen and ammonia, LNG to Power* and other projects and related solutions in India,
・Building relationships with relevant ministries and agencies, local companies, etc.
Through these operations, JERA will strengthen its knowledge of the local market in order to pursue optimal business opportunities.

As a global company providing cutting-edge solutions to the world's energy problems, JERA will contribute to the healthy growth and development of India and the rest of Asia and the world by providing a clean energy supply infrastructure that combines renewable energy and low-carbon thermal power.
