ACME Group has been awarded a Letter of Award (LoA) by Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd (SECI) for its upcoming green ammonia production initiative, part of the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Scheme – Mode-2A, Tranche-I. This marks a significant development in the country’s push toward clean energy solutions.

As per the LoA, ACME will supply 75,000 metric tonnes of green ammonia over a ten-year period to Paradeep Phosphates Ltd, a major player in India’s fertilizer and chemical sector. The green ammonia will be delivered to the company’s manufacturing site in Paradeep, Odisha. ACME Cleantech Solutions, a subsidiary of the group, participated in the reverse auction hosted by SECI on July 29, 2025, and secured the project through a competitive bidding process.

The agreed price for supplying green ammonia at the delivery location stands at ₹55.75 per kilogram. The project win positions ACME among the frontrunners in India’s transition toward low-carbon industrial inputs, particularly in the fertilizer sector.

“This Letter of Award under the SIGHT Scheme is a significant achievement in our clean energy journey,” said Anil Kumar Taparia, Chief Operating Officer, Green Hydrogen & Ammonia Division, ACME Group. “We are committed to building this project quickly and supplying clean ammonia to Paradeep Phosphates Ltd, supporting India’s shift to sustainable energy.” ACME Cleantech Solutions is expected to commence deliveries within 36 months from the date the green ammonia purchase agreement with SECI is signed, marking a new chapter in industrial decarbonisation in India.
