InSolare Energy and SCC sign 85,000 tpy green ammonia supply agreement with Solar Energy Corp. of India

InSolare Energy Ltd., in consortium with SCC Infrastructure Private Ltd., has signed Green Ammonia Purchase Agreements (GAPA) with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for the supply of 85,000 metric tons per year (tpy) of green ammonia under India's National Green Hydrogen Mission. The projects, involving a total estimated investment of approximately INR 3,700 crore (~$398 MM), mark another strategic milestone in the country's transition towards clean and sustainable energy, reducing reliance on carbon-intensive conventional inputs.

The agreements have been executed through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) across two distinct projects, enabling long-term supply of green ammonia to leading fertilizer companies under SECI's structured demand aggregation and offtake framework.

Under the GAPA framework, 70,000 tpy of green ammonia will be supplied to Madhya Bharat Agro Products Limited in Dhule, Maharashtra, and 15,000 MTPA to Paradeep Phosphates Limited in Mangalore, Karnataka over a 10-year period. The corresponding Green Ammonia Supply Agreements were also executed between SECI and both the end-offtakers. These GAPA/GASA-backed projects are part of SECI's green ammonia program under the SIGHT scheme, aimed at enabling price discovery and accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen derivatives.

In SECI's auctions under the SIGHT Scheme, a benchmark tariff of ₹53.05/kg was discovered for the Dhule project (70,000 tpy), with the consortium of SCC Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. and InSolare Energy Ltd. emerging as the winning bidder. Additionally, the Mangalore project (15,000 tpy) was secured at a tariff of ₹57.65/kg, further demonstrating the evolving cost competitiveness of green ammonia in India.

Supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the Department of Fertilizers (DoF), along with assured offtake and payment security mechanisms, such GAPA/GASA-led initiatives are enabling large-scale adoption of green ammonia.
