ACME, SECI Ink 10-Year Green Ammonia Pact for 370,000 TPA Across India

ACME Group, a clean energy solution conglomerate, 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) of green ammonia.

The estimated contract value over 10-year period is Rs 20,000 crore. This follows the Letters of Award (LOA) received by ACME from SECI in August & September 2025 under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Scheme Mode-2A, Tranche-I, India’s first green hydrogen and ammonia procurement program.

The signing of this GAPA marks a key milestone in India’s transition to low-carbon industrial feedstocks in the fertilizer sector, the official statement noted.

Under the agreement, ACME will establish a green ammonia facility in Odisha, to supply the contracted capacity of Green Ammonia to six (6) major fertilizer facilities spread across five (5) states in both east and west coast of India.

SECI, acting as the intermediary aggregator, has executed the corresponding Green Ammonia Sale Agreements (GASA) with leading fertilizer companies, ensuring long-term demand visibility and supply stability, including,

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

Commenting on the GAPA signing, Anil Taparia, Chief Operating Officer of 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.”

ACME claims that it operates one of the world’s earliest pilot-scale green hydrogen and green ammonia plants and is developing multiple large-scale green ammonia and green methanol projects in India and Oman, designed for domestic and international markets.
