Govt Makes ALMM Parts Mandatory for Wind Turbines

The Indian government has made it mandatory to use key wind turbine components listed under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM - Wind), according to an official statement issued on Thursday.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) has renamed the earlier Revised List of Models and Manufacturers (RLMM) as ALMM (Wind) through an official amendment. This move is aimed at ensuring higher quality and reliability in wind turbine installations, safeguarding consumer interests, and strengthening India’s energy security.
As per the amendment, it is now compulsory for manufacturers to source major components such as blades, towers, gearboxes, generators, and critical bearings (main, pitch, and yaw) only from vendors listed in the ALMM (Wind Turbine Components), which will be released separately by the ministry.
The amendment also mandates that wind turbine R&D centres, data centres, and servers must be located within India to enhance the cybersecurity framework.
However, the rule will not apply to already bid projects or captive/open access/commercial and industrial/third-party sale projects that are commissioned within 18 months from the date of the amendment’s issue.
To promote innovation and encourage new technology adoption, the government has exempted new wind turbine manufacturers and models from the mandatory use of ALMM-listed components for a capacity of up to 800 MW over a two-year period.
The ministry stated that this measure will strengthen existing quality control protocols, support domestic manufacturing, and reinforce India’s wind energy and cybersecurity landscape.
