India Crosses 100 GW Solar PV Module Manufacturing Capacity under ALMM

18 Aug 2025 CW Team

Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, said, “India has achieved a historic milestone – 100 GW Solar PV Module Manufacturing Capacity under the ALMM, a remarkable rise from just 2.3 GW in 2014! Driven by the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and transformative initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High-Efficiency Solar Modules, we are building a robust, self-reliant solar manufacturing ecosystem. This achievement strengthens our path towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and the target of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030.”

The Government of India has been actively working to make India self-reliant in solar PV manufacturing and position the country as a global leader in the sector. Initiatives such as the PLI Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules and measures to create a level playing field for Indian manufacturers have catalysed this growth, expanding domestic module manufacturing capacity from just 2.3 GW in 2014 to over 100 GW today.

The ALMM Order, issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) on 2 January 2019, saw its first list published on 10 March 2021 with an initial capacity of around 8.2 GW. In just over four years, capacity has grown more than twelvefold, crossing 100 GW. The number of enlisted manufacturers has also risen significantly—from 21 in 2021 to 100 manufacturers operating 123 units across the country.

This growth reflects contributions from both established firms and new entrants, many of whom have adopted high-efficiency technologies and vertically integrated operations, creating a diverse and competitive manufacturing landscape that caters to domestic and global markets.

The achievement reinforces India’s commitment to achieving 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 while contributing to global decarbonisation efforts. MNRE remains committed to further strengthening the solar manufacturing ecosystem through continued policy support, infrastructure development, and innovation.
