Component II: Incentive Scheme for Green Hydrogen Production (under Mode 1)- Tranche-II" on 3rd July 2024. According to these guidelines, Tranche-II is set to have a capacity of 450,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of Green Hydrogen, with 40,000 TPA allocated for biomass-based pathways (bucket-II) and the remainder for technology agnostic pathways (bucket-I). Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has been designated as the implementing agency for this tranche as well, and SECI will soon issue the Request for Selection (RfS). The bidding process will revolve around the least average incentive quoted by the bidder. Under bucket-I, bidders can bid a minimum of 10,000 TPA and a maximum of 90,000 TPA. In bucket-II, the minimum bid capacity is 500 TPA, and the maximum is 4,000 TPA.
