Bidders setting up production facilities for supply of green ammonia will be eligible for the incentive assistance under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Scheme if they meet the qualification requirement.

SECI will be the intermediary procurer for the green ammonia supplied by the green ammonia producers and sale of such green ammonia to the procurers (fertilizer manufacturers) entirely on back-to-back basis. It will sign a green ammonia purchase agreement with the green ammonia producers for a period of 10 years.

A total of eleven projects will be allocated under this tender. The maximum cumulative capacity that will be allocated to a bidder will be up to 5,39,000 mtpa.

Identification of the land for setting up the project will be under the scope of the producer,” as per the tender document.
