Government unveils incentives for 550,000 MT green ammonia production

The incentive implementation framework for the production and supply of green ammonia at the lowest cost through a competitive selection process under Mode 2A of the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) program has been established by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). It was announced that direct incentives for green ammonia production and supply would be provided over a three-year period from the commencement date as per the framework. The total outlay for the incentive program for the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives under all modes is Rs 130.5 billion. In the first year, it was specified that the incentive would be Rs 8.82 per kilogram, Rs 7.06 per kilogram in the second year, and Rs 5.30 per kilogram in the third year. It was also emphasised that the production and supply of hydrogen and its derivatives could not receive incentives under two different modes of the SIGHT Program.
