InSolare and SCC signed ?3,700 crore SECI deal to supply 85,000 MTPA green ammonia, boosting India’s clean energy transition and decarbonization.
InSolare Energy Ltd., in partnership with SCC Infrastructure Private Limited, has entered into Green Ammonia Purchase Agreements (GAPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for the annual supply of 85,000 metric tonnes of green ammonia. This initiative, undertaken as part of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, represents a significant advancement in the country’s shift toward environmentally sustainable energy solutions. The combined investment for these projects is estimated at approximately INR 3,700 crore (around USD 398 million), reflecting a strong commitment to reducing dependence on carbon-intensive conventional fuels.
The agreements are structured through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and cover two separate projects designed to ensure long-term green ammonia supply to key fertilizer manufacturers. This framework aligns with SECI’s demand aggregation and offtake model, which facilitates reliable procurement and distribution of green ammonia across industries.
As per the agreement, 70,000 MTPA of green ammonia will be delivered to Madhya Bharat Agro Products Limited, located in Dhule, Maharashtra, while the remaining 15,000 MTPA will be supplied to Paradeep Phosphates Limited in Mangalore, Karnataka. These supplies will be maintained over a period of ten years, ensuring consistency and stability in green ammonia availability. In addition to the GAPA, corresponding Green Ammonia Supply Agreements (GASA) have also been formalized between SECI and the respective end users.
These projects fall under SECI’s green ammonia initiatives within the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) scheme. The scheme is specifically designed to promote market-based price discovery and accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen derivatives such as green ammonia. Through competitive bidding under this scheme, a tariff of ?53.05 per kilogram was established for the Dhule project, where the consortium emerged as the successful bidder. Similarly, the Mangalore project secured a tariff of ?57.65 per kilogram, highlighting the increasing affordability and competitiveness of green ammonia production in India.
The initiative has received support from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the Department of Fertilizers (DoF). With mechanisms in place for assured offtake and payment security, such projects are paving the way for large-scale adoption of green ammonia across industries.
Dr. Hemanshu Bhatt, Director and CTO of InSolare Energy Ltd., emphasized that the agreement is a crucial step in expanding green ammonia usage in India. He noted that as industries increasingly move toward low-carbon alternatives, green ammonia will be essential in reducing emissions within the fertilizer sector. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to providing scalable and cost-efficient solutions aligned with national and global sustainability goals.
Similarly, Shashin Patel, Managing Director of SCC Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd., highlighted that the collaboration demonstrates a shared vision for advancing sustainable energy solutions. He expressed confidence that these projects will contribute significantly to India’s clean energy transition while establishing commercially viable infrastructure for the future.
Overall, this development strengthens the role of both companies in the green hydrogen and ammonia ecosystem. It supports broader objectives such as industrial decarbonization, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, enhanced energy security through domestic production, and alignment with national sustainability policies. These projects mark a meaningful step toward building a cleaner, more resilient energy future for India.
