SECI To Finalise Record Green Ammonia Tender On 26 June

Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) will award the world’s largest green-ammonia contract on 26 June, covering the annual supply of 724 000 tonnes to thirteen state fertiliser plants. The move is part of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and dwarfs last year’s 40 000-tonne deal secured by Fertiglobe for Germany.

Cutting import dependence
India consumes about 17–19 million tonnes of ammonia each year, most of it produced with imported natural gas. By anchoring domestic offtake through ten-year agreements, SECI aims to curb gas-price exposure, trim the trade deficit and decarbonise urea manufacture.

Greener production, secure revenues
Green hydrogen emits fewer than 2 kg of CO₂ per kilogram, versus up to 12 kg from conventional grey hydrogen. SECI will bundle demand, sign long-term purchase contracts and run an e-reverse auction in which producers bid the lowest viable price.

To spur participation, the government is offering a three-year, declining Production-Linked Incentive worth Rs 8.82 per kg in year one, Rs 7.06 per kg in year two and Rs 5.30 per kg in year three—totalling roughly Rs 15.334 billion. A payment-security mechanism will shield suppliers from delayed remittances by fertiliser companies.

Strategic and economic benefits
The 724 000-tonne contract will help India reach its target of five million tonnes of green hydrogen a year by 2030 and support the net-zero goal for 2070. Domestic output is also expected to buffer supply during geopolitical shocks and create new skilled jobs across the renewables value chain.
