The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India is ramping up efforts under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to increase the production of Green Ammonia to meet the rising demand in the fertilizer sector. MNRE issued guidelines for the SIGHT Programme - Component II, focusing on incentivizing Green Ammonia production for the fertilizer industry. The capacity available for bidding was initially set at 550,000 tonnes per annum but has now been increased to 750,000 tonnes per annum. Solar Energy Corporation of India has launched a competitive bidding process to identify Green Ammonia producers. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, with a budget of Rs. 19,744 crores, aims to achieve a production capacity of 5 million tonnes per annum of Green Hydrogen by 2030. This mission not only aims to make India self-reliant in clean energy but also to reduce fossil fuel imports and establish the country as a leader in Green Hydrogen technology and market.
