The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has successfully concluded its 13th and final Green Ammonia auction under the SIGHT Scheme (Mode-2A), discovering a tariff of ₹50/kg for the supply of 4,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of Green Ammonia to Madras Fertilizers Limited (MFL), Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The winning bid was secured by Suryam International Private Limited, marking a significant milestone in India’s efforts to build a competitive green ammonia market.
Auction Milestones Across India
The series of 13 auctions has spanned multiple states, from Odisha and Goa to Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, each contributing to capacity expansion, enhanced competition, and increased investor confidence. Collectively, these auctions have established India’s Green Ammonia sector as both credible and scalable.
According to SECI, the auctions yielded a calculated weighted average tariff of ₹53.27/kg, reflecting the competitiveness and diversity of conditions across the country.
Collaborative Effort Driving Success
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) provided strategic direction, while the Department of Fertilizers reinforced confidence with assured demand. SECI, in turn, facilitated transparent and competitive bidding processes that bridged producers and offtakers.
Officials emphasized that this alignment of policy, demand, and process has positioned the fertilizer sector as a frontrunner in India’s clean energy transition.
A New Market Era
While the conclusion of the 13th auction closes one chapter, SECI underlined that it also marks the beginning of a broader market era for clean molecules in India. With tariffs reaching as low as ₹50/kg, India’s Green Ammonia program now signals readiness to scale up and compete on the global stage.
Industry observers noted that the successful conclusion of the series demonstrates not only demand readiness but also the maturity of India’s policy-driven approach to green hydrogen and ammonia.
