The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has announced an amendment to the National Green Hydrogen Mission's (NGHM) guidelines, aimed at strengthening the production of green ammonia to meet the rising demand from the fertilizer sector.

The MNRE has increased the allocation for green ammonia production under the Scheme Guidelines for the SIGHT Programme – Component II, Mode 2A, from 5,50,000 tonnes per annum to 7,50,000 tonnes per annum. 

Launched on January 4, 2023, with a budget of INR 19,744 crores up to the fiscal year 2029-30, the National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to position India as a global leader in green hydrogen technology. The mission is crucial for the country's goal of achieving decarbonization, reducing fossil fuel imports, and contributing to the global clean energy transition.

The initial guidelines for the SIGHT Programme were issued on January 16, 2024, setting the capacity for green ammonia production under Mode 2A at 5,50,000 tonnes per annum. The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) followed up with a Request for Selection (RfS) to select green ammonia producers through a cost-based competitive bidding process. 

However, with the implementation of the mission gaining momentum and the demand for green hydrogen and its derivatives rising across various sectors, the MNRE has decided to increase the capacity allocation.
