Onix Renewable Secures SECI Green Ammonia Deal at ₹52.50/Kg
India’s renewable energy sector achieves a major breakthrough as Onix Renewable clinches a landmark SECI tender to supply 50,000 MT of green ammonia to GNFC. The winning bid at ₹52.50 per kilogram marks a pivotal moment for India’s clean energy transition and industrial decarbonization.
Game-Changing Economics for Green Ammonia
The ₹52.50/kg price undercuts conventional ammonia production costs by nearly 40%, proving renewables can compete with fossil fuels. This green ammonia revolution demonstrates how:
- 250 MW of dedicated solar capacity will power production
- 90,000 tons of CO2 reductions annually (equivalent to 20,000 cars)
- Long-term price stability versus volatile gas markets
Technical Innovations Behind the Breakthrough
Onix’s solution combines:
- Bifacial solar panels for maximum yield
- Tesla Megapack battery buffers for 92% uptime
- Gujarat’s 300+ annual sunny days advantage
Strategic Impact on Indian Industry
The SECI auction outcome:
- Creates a blueprint for chemical and fertilizer industries
- Positions India as a green ammonia exporter
- Accelerates adoption in shipping and heavy transport
Future Expansion Potential
Industry analysts predict:
- 500,000-ton plants from majors like Adani/Reliance
- Integration with India’s growing battery storage infrastructure
- Second-generation projects at sub-₹50/kg prices
