The Indian state-owned Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) is inviting bids for ammonia producers to supply 5.39 lakh mt/y of green ammonia, which is equal to 539,000 mt/y. SECI issued a Request for Selection (RFS) for green ammonia producers for cost-based competitive bidding under the SIGHT program implemented by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
The green ammonia that is being bid is expected to be used at fertilizer companies, with delivery points at eleven existing fertilizer plants along India’s east and west coasts.
The auction requires that successful bidders begin to supply all the capacity they had quoted within three years of signing the contract. If a bidder chooses not to produce ammonia in a location at a fertilizer use point, they must factor in transportation costs to their bid.
Under the SIGHT program, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has already allocated 4.12 lakh mt/y of green hydrogen capacity and 1.5 GW per year of electrolyzer manufacturing capacity.
