InSolare Energy and SCC Infrastructure Secure $398M Green Ammonia Deal with SECI

Mumbai, India – April 2026 – InSolare Energy and SCC Infrastructure have signed a landmark INR 3,700 crore (~$398 million) green ammonia agreement with Solar Energy Corporation of India, marking a major step forward in India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.

The agreement covers the supply of 85,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia, supported by long-term offtake contracts and government-backed frameworks designed to accelerate industrial decarbonization. 

Two Large-Scale Projects Backed by Long-Term Demand

The project portfolio is structured across two key developments:

• 70,000 MTPA supplied to Madhya Bharat Agro Products (Maharashtra)

• 15,000 MTPA supplied to Paradeep Phosphates (Karnataka)

Both agreements run over a 10-year period, ensuring stable demand and strong project bankability. 

The projects are implemented via special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and supported under SECI’s SIGHT (Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition) programme, which aims to scale green hydrogen derivatives such as ammonia. 

Cost Competitiveness Emerging in Green Ammonia

The agreements were awarded through SECI’s competitive auction framework, revealing benchmark tariffs of:

• ₹53.05/kg for the Dhule project

• ₹57.65/kg for the Mangalore project

These pricing levels highlight improving cost competitiveness for green ammonia in India, signaling progress toward large-scale commercial viability. 

Policy Support Driving Scale-Up

The projects are supported by key government bodies, including:

• Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)

• Department of Fertilizers (DoF)

Along with payment security mechanisms and guaranteed offtake, these frameworks are helping unlock investment in green hydrogen and ammonia infrastructure. 

Decarbonizing the Fertilizer Industry

Green ammonia is expected to play a critical role in reducing emissions from energy-intensive sectors, particularly fertilizers.

According to Dr. Hemanshu Bhatt, Director & CTO of InSolare Energy:

Green ammonia will be key to decarbonizing the fertilizer value chain. 

By replacing fossil-based ammonia, the projects aim to:

• Reduce carbon intensity in agriculture supply chains

• Strengthen domestic clean fuel production

• Enhance India’s long-term energy security 

Strategic Implications

This deal reflects a broader shift in the energy transition:

• From pilot hydrogen projects → large-scale industrial deployment

• From technology validation → long-term contracted demand

• From policy ambition → bankable infrastructure

With structured offtake agreements and government-backed schemes, India is emerging as a key global market for green hydrogen and ammonia development.
