MNRE Amends ALMM Procedure For Wind Turbines

23 Feb 2026 CW Team

The latest office memorandum modifies provisions related to main bearings, yaw bearings and pitch bearings and adjusts implementation timelines to reflect current market conditions. MNRE stated that the main bearings requirement under the revised procedure will not apply to projects already bid or to be bid before 31 July 2027, and that the mandate will be implemented only after a review of supply chain conditions. The amendment was issued with the approval of the competent authority.

Projects where bids were closed before 31 July 2025 and that are scheduled to be commissioned within three years of the issuance of the earlier order will be exempted from compliance with the amended requirements. The ministry clarified that these exemptions are intended to preserve contractual certainty and to prevent delays that could arise from immediate compliance demands. All other provisions of the 31 July order remain unchanged.

Additional exemptions will apply to wind projects to be commissioned within 18 months from 31 July 2025 under Captive, Open Access or Third-Party sale modes, including a one-year exemption for compliance related to yaw and pitch bearings valid until 31 January 2028 and a two-year exemption for main bearing requirements valid until 31 January 2029. The ministry indicated that these time-limited relaxations are intended to support project execution while supply chains stabilise. Stakeholders are expected to monitor the review outcomes that will determine wider implementation of the revised mandates. The amendment therefore seeks to balance technical standards with pragmatic delivery of wind capacity.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has issued an amendment to the procedure for inclusion and updating of Wind Turbine Models in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for wind turbines to provide relief to ongoing wind power projects faced with supply chain constraints in India. The amendment revises compliance expectations for critical turbine components and aims to reduce disruption to project timelines. The measure follows an earlier order issued on 31 July 2025.
