AM Green and Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (“Mitsui”) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the following:
• Strategic collaboration and broader energy transition opportunities
• Potential investment pathways across low-carbon aluminum
AM Green, via its wholly owned subsidiary, AM Green Aluminium Metals and Materials (”AM Green Metals”), is building a 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) primary aluminum smelter and 2 MTPA alumina refining and mining operations. In November 2025, AM Green signed an MoU with Andhra Pradesh (AP) government to set up 1 MTPA green aluminum complex in AP.

Both aluminum smelter and alumina refinery will be powered by renewable wind and solar firmed up by pumped hydro storage. In May 2025, Coal India signed a MoU to supply 4.5 GW renewable power to AM Green for its various verticals including AM Green Metals.
Under the MoU with Mitsui, the parties will assess potential investment in the AM Green Metals value chain. Mitsui investment will support equity requirements to build the world’s first integrated green aluminium production platform.
As part of the discussions, AM Green and Mitsui will explore a range of commercial and strategic opportunities:
• Offtake of low-carbon aluminium (including potential access to offtake rights associated with AM Green’s green aluminium business)
• Supply of auxiliary materials for green aluminium smelter and alumina refinery
