The Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has announced an invitation for bids from green hydrogen producers to establish production facilities in India under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Scheme. This initiative aims to significantly increase India's annual green hydrogen production capacity to 450,000 metric tonnes. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has provided detailed guidelines for incentivizing large-scale green hydrogen production under Phase II of the SIGHT program, showcasing India's commitment to transitioning to a green hydrogen economy. With a substantial outlay of INR 13,050 crore earmarked for the period from FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30, the program focuses on enhancing green hydrogen production, improving its cost competitiveness against fossil fuels, and fostering its adoption across various industries. Interested participants must adhere to specific financial criteria outlined in the guidelines, such as net worth requirements per 1,000 metric tonnes of annual production for different pathways. In this bidding phase, the available capacity is limited to 450,000 metric tonnes per year. The allocation caps vary based on the production pathways, with a maximum of 90,000 metric tons per annum for 'Technology Agnostic Pathways' and 4,000 metric tons per annum for 'Biomass Based Pathways'. Bidders have the flexibility to bid for different capacity buckets, with priority given to Bucket-II allocations. SECI's call for bids signals a positive step towards scaling up green hydrogen production in India and aligning with global sustainability goals. This initiative is poised to drive economic growth, foster technological innovation, and facilitate the shift towards a more sustainable energy landscape in the country.
