ACME Group, a clean energy solution conglomerates, through its Green Hydrogen and 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 the 10-year period is INR 20,000 crore. This follows the Letters of Award (LOA) 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 program.
The signing of this GAPA marks a milestone 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 of Green Ammonia to six major fertiliser facilities spread across five states in both east and west coast of India.
SECI, acting as the intermediary aggregator, has executed Green Ammonia Sale Agreements (GASA) with leading fertiliser companies to ensure long-term demand visibility and supply stability. These include agreements with Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO) for its Kandla plant in Gujarat and Paradeep plant in Odisha, each for 100,000 TPA. Additionally, Paradeep Phosphates (PPL) has signed agreements for its Paradeep plant in Odisha for 75,000 TPA and its Goa plant for 25,000 TPA. India Potash (IPL) has entered into an agreement for its Haldia plant in West Bengal for 20,000 TPA, while Coromandel International (CIL) has signed for its Visakhapatnam plant in Andhra Pradesh for 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 decarbonisation efforts in the fertiliser industry. This agreement, result of a bold vision by the Government of India to usher-in energy security to India’s fertiliser 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 GAPA, ACME Group strengthens its leadership in India’s green hydrogen sector. The company already 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.
