NTPC Renewable Energy Limited has won Solar Energy Corporation of India’s (SECI) auction to supply 70,000 tonnes per annum of green ammonia under the strategic interventions for green hydrogen transition programme (Mode-2A, Tranche-I). NTPC secured the capacity at a tariff of Rs 51.8 per kg. The green ammonia will be supplied to Krishana Phoschem in Meghnagar, Madhya Pradesh, for ten years.
According to the SECI, the discovered price translates to approximately $591 per metric tonne (MT), a substantial drop from the previously discovered price of $641 per MT. Furthermore, NTPC must establish production facilities to supply green ammonia to the SECI and secure all approvals and permits, including those for land. It must ensure production, storage, and delivery to the delivery point. The tender was initially floated in June 2024 and subsequently amended to increase the projects under its scope.
Earlier in April 2025, NTPC invited bids for the installation of a 2 MW green hydrogen generation system or electrolyser at Sipat, Chhattisgarh, as part of its green hydrogen mobility project.
