Jakson Green Signs 85,000 TPA Green Ammonia Deal with SECI

Background and Context

The transition toward sustainable industrial fuels in India has reached a new milestone as a Jakson Green consortium officially signed a green ammonia purchase agreement with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). This agreement is a direct outcome of SECI’s sixth green ammonia auction, which aims to incentivize the production of green fuels under the government’s flagship Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Scheme (Mode-2A).

Key Details

Under the terms of the agreement, the consortium is committed to supplying 85,000 metric tons per annum (tpa) of green ammonia to SECI. The capacity was secured at a competitive tariff of INR 50.75/kg. The total contract value is estimated at approximately $465 million over the duration of the agreement. This formal contract follows the letter of award issued by SECI in August 2025, with production and supply expected to commence by 2029.

Bikesh Ogra, Vice Chairman & Global CEO of Jakson Green, emphasized that this deal aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), which seeks to bolster India’s energy security and build domestic capabilities across the entire green hydrogen and ammonia value chain.

What This Means for EPCs and Developers

For EPC contractors and renewable energy developers, this agreement validates the viability of the SIGHT Scheme’s Mode-2A, which offers the critical benefit of assured offtake. The $465 million valuation highlights the scale of investment flowing into the green fuel sector. Furthermore, Jakson Green’s ongoing work on two 5,000 tpa green hydrogen projects for Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd (HPCL) demonstrates a broader strategy of diversifying into sustainable fuels, a trend that EPC firms should monitor as industrial demand for decarbonization grows.

What Happens Next

The next phase involves the scaling of infrastructure required to meet the 2029 supply deadline. As India continues to position itself as a global hub for green hydrogen, the execution of these large-scale projects will be closely watched by stakeholders. The integration of such projects into the wider India renewable energy sector is essential for meeting the nation’s 2070 net-zero targets and reducing reliance on imported fossil-based fertilizers and fuels.
