ACME Group, through its Green Hydrogen & Ammonia Business, has signed a 10-year binding Green Ammonia Purchase Agreement (GAPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for a capacity of 370,000 tonnes per annum (TPA). The estimated contract value over the 10-year period is Rs 200 billion.

The agreement follows the Letters of Award received by ACME from SECI in August and September 2025 under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Scheme Mode-2A, Tranche-I, India’s first green hydrogen and ammonia procurement programme.

The GAPA marks a step in India’s transition to low-carbon industrial feedstocks in the fertiliser sector. Under the agreement, ACME will establish a green ammonia facility in Odisha to supply the contracted capacity to six major fertiliser facilities across five states on the east and west coasts of India.

SECI, acting as an intermediary aggregator, has executed corresponding Green Ammonia Sale Agreements (GASA) with fertiliser companies to ensure long-term demand visibility and supply stability. These include:

• Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), Kandla Plant, Gujarat – 100,000 TPA
• Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), Paradeep Plant, Odisha – 100,000 TPA
• Paradeep Phosphates Limited (PPL), Paradeep Plant, Odisha – 75,000 TPA
• Paradeep Phosphates Limited (PPL), Goa Plant – 25,000 TPA
• India Potash Limited (IPL), Haldia Plant, West Bengal – 20,000 TPA
• Coromandel International Limited (CIL), Visakhapatnam Plant, Andhra Pradesh – 50,000 TPA

Anil Taparia, Chief Operating Officer, ACME Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Business, said  “We are proud to partner with SECI, MNRE and MoCF in pioneering India’s decarbonization efforts in the fertilizer industry. This agreement, result of a bold vision by the Government of India to usher-in energy security to India’s fertilizer sector, represents a defining step in demonstrating commercial-scale green ammonia production and offtake viability at a competitive cost. It reaffirms our commitment to accelerating India’s journey towards energy independence and net-zero emissions.”

With this agreement, ACME Group expands its presence in India’s green hydrogen sector. The company operates a pilot-scale green hydrogen and green ammonia plant and is developing large-scale green ammonia and green methanol projects in India and Oman for domestic and international markets.
