Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has extended the bid submission deadline for its green ammonia tender to June 30, 2025, under the SIGHT Scheme. The initiative aims to supply 7.24 lakh tonnes of green ammonia annually to 13 fertilizer plants, promoting clean energy in agriculture. Ammonia, essential in manufacturing urea and nitrogen-based fertilizers, is currently produced using fossil fuels, leading to high carbon emissions. The project intends to shift ammonia production to a renewable energy-based approach using green hydrogen, thereby reducing the carbon footprint in India's agriculture. SECI will facilitate the process by signing long-term agreements with successful bidders, ensuring stability and growth in the green hydrogen sector. The government's support through Production Linked Incentives and Payment Security Mechanism aims to enhance investor confidence and guarantee prompt payments. This extension aligns with India's efforts towards a sustainable, low-carbon economy and its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
