Hygenco Green Energies has launched a 1.1GW renewable energy tender to support its planned green ammonia project in India.
The Indian firm aims to procure 625MW from solar photovoltaic (PV) projects and 500MW through wind power, representing one of India’s largest energy tenders for a green hydrogen-based ammonia project.
“As one of the very few, pure-play green hydrogen companies with operational assets, Hygenco is rapidly moving towards its mission of facilitating India’s energy security and achieving climate goals,” claimed Amit Bansal, Co-Founder and CEO of Hygenco.
“This large tender of over 1GW is amongst the many firsts achieved by us and demonstrates both our ambition and action in scaling up India’s green hydrogen and green ammonia market.”
In May (2024), Hygenco agreed to develop the project at Tata Steel’s Special Economic Zone Industrial Park (GIP).

Under a binding agreement, the company announced plans to produce 1.1 million tonnes per year of green ammonia from the Odisha plant across multiple phases. The initial phase is scheduled to be commissioned by December 2026.
Last month (September), the Indian Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, revealed his ambitions for green hydrogen, stating his goal to make the country a global hub for hydrogen production, utilisation and export.
