Oriana Power has won Solar Energy Corporation of India’s (SECI) auction to supply 60,000 tons per annum (TPA) of green ammonia under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) program (Mode-2A-Tranche-I).

The company quoted a tariff of ₹52.25 (~$0.59)/kg to win the auction.

The green ammonia will be supplied to Madhya Bharat Agro Products in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, for 10 years.  This is the third auction under the same tranche.

The tender was initially floated in June 2024 and subsequently amended to increase the projects under its scope.

The total available capacity under bidding increased to 739,000 TPA from 539,000 TPA.

Oriana Power must establish production facilities to supply green ammonia to SECI and secure all approvals and permits, including those for land. It must ensure production, storage, and delivery to the delivery point.

It must also identify the production facility land, construct and own the facility, and handle all logistics up to delivery.

Oriana Power must ensure the supply of at least 90% of the annual requirement as agreed with SECI. It must not engage in trading/arbitrage of green ammonia for supply to SECI.

The green ammonia supplied can be produced using renewable energy sourced from either a co-located or remotely located project. The producer or a third party can own these projects. They can also procure renewable energy from power exchanges.

In July 2025, SECI awarded ACME Cleantech Solutions the auction to supply 75,000 TPA of green ammonia to 12 fertilizer plants under the same tranche.

Under the same tranche, SECI awarded NTPC Renewable Energy for the supply of 70,000 TPA of green ammonia in August 2025.

In 2023, the Union Cabinet approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission to facilitate demand creation, production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen with an initial outlay of ₹197.44 billion (~$2.3 billion).
