SECI welcomes bids for 0.5 million mt of green ammonia

The government-owned Solar Energy Corporation of India is seeking bids to choose ammonia manufacturers to deliver 0.5 million metric tonnes (MT) of green ammonia annually. The National Green Hydrogen Mission's (NGHM) SIGHT Programme is inviting proposals. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is implementing Mode 2A of the SIGHT programme of the NGHM, and as per the statement, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has released a Request for Selection (RfS) of green ammonia producers for the production of green ammonia in India through cost-based competitive bidding. The e-bidding and e-reverse auction procedures will be used to conduct the bidding for a total of 0.5 million metric tonnes (MT) per year of green ammonia that is designed for manufacture and delivery.

MNRE has already committed 1.5 GW of annual electrolyzer manufacturing capacity and 0.4 million metric tonnes (MT) of annual green hydrogen production capacity under the SIGHT Programme. On January 4, 2023, the National Green Hydrogen Mission was introduced, requiring an investment of Rs. 197 billion till FY 2029?2030. It will inspire the worldwide clean energy transition and help India achieve its aim of being Aatmanirbhar, or self-sufficient, via the use of clean energy. The mission will enable India to take the lead in green hydrogen technology and market share, significantly reduce the country's reliance on imported fossil fuels, and decarbonise the economy.
