Jakson Green Limited has announced that it has signed a Green Ammonia Purchase Agreement (GAPA) with Solar Energy Corporation of India for supplying green ammonia under the government’s flagship National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The GAPA agreement, valued at approximately $465 million over its tenure, will see green ammonia supplied to Coromandel International Limited at its facility in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.
The deal follows a Letter of Award secured by Jakson Green in August 2025 through a competitive bidding process.
Reinforcing India’s Green Hydrogen Ecosystem
The agreement falls under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme—India’s first structured procurement mechanism for green hydrogen and ammonia. Implemented by SECI, the programme aims to make green fuels cost-competitive while scaling domestic production.
By securing capacity through this auction, Jakson Green positions itself among early movers in India’s emerging green ammonia market—an area seen as critical for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as fertilisers, shipping, and heavy industry.
Decarbonising the Fertiliser Value Chain
The supply of green ammonia to Coromandel International marks a key step toward reducing emissions in India’s fertiliser sector, which traditionally relies on fossil fuel-based ammonia production. Industry experts view such agreements as essential for building demand certainty—one of the biggest bottlenecks in scaling green hydrogen derivatives globally.
Bikesh Ogra, Vice Chairman and Global CEO of Jakson Green, stated that the agreement reflects the company’s commitment to developing scalable, future-ready green energy solutions while supporting India’s ambition to become a global hub for green hydrogen and its derivatives.
Expanding Footprint
Beyond this deal, Jakson Green is expanding its footprint across the green hydrogen and sustainable fuels value chain. The company is currently developing two green hydrogen projects—each with a capacity of 5,000 tonnes per annum—for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited.
Additionally, it is executing integrated EPC projects involving ethanol, carbon capture, and hydrogen production for a public sector undertaking. These projects include capacities of 10 TPD for ethanol, 25 TPD for carbon capture, and 3 TPD for hydrogen.
What This Means
This agreement signals a shift from policy intent to real market creation in India’s green hydrogen ecosystem. While challenges such as high production costs and infrastructure gaps remain, long-term offtake agreements like this provide a critical foundation for scaling investments.
As India accelerates its clean energy ambitions, deals of this scale indicate growing confidence in green ammonia as both a domestic decarbonisation tool and a potential export commodity.
