New Delhi: The Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has extended the bid submission deadline for its landmark green ammonia tender under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) announced on Wednesday. The revised last date for submitting bids is June 30, 2025, the ministry said in a statement.
Originally issued on June 7, 2024, the tender is part of SIGHT (Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition) Scheme – Mode 2A, Tranche I, and aims to facilitate the production and long-term supply of 7,24,000 metric tonnes of green ammonia per year. The volumes are intended for supply to 13 identified fertiliser plants across India.
As the designated implementing agency, SECI will aggregate demand and enter into long-term offtake agreements with selected green ammonia producers. These agreements, with a tenure of 10 years, are expected to provide commercial certainty and encourage investment into the domestic green hydrogen and derivative markets.
SECI is a Navratna central public sector enterprise under the MNRE and plays a lead role in implementing India’s energy transition programmes. More information on the tender is available here.
