MNRE Updates ALMM with 2.27 GW Solar Module Capacity

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has expanded the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar photovoltaic modules, adding 2,271 MW of capacity from four manufacturers.

This update brings the total ALMM-listed module manufacturing capacity to 62,765 MW. Bluebird Solar, Novasys Greenergy, ReNew Photovoltaics, and Saatvik Green Energy contributed 6 MW, 181 MW, 910 MW, and 1,174 MW, respectively.

Additionally, HR Solar Solution, Emmvee Photovoltaic Power, SAEL Solar, and Vikram Solar, with a combined applied capacity of 4,001 MW/year, were added to the provisional ALMM list.

MNRE has also issued a draft amendment to extend the ALMM's scope to solar cells, with implementation expected by April 2026. Earlier this year, it revised guidelines to streamline the enlistment of provisionally listed manufacturers, requiring final approval within two months of application.

India's solar module manufacturing has seen rapid growth, with 11.3 GW of modules and 2 GW of solar cells added in the first half of 2024, driven by the reinstated ALMM mandate and a strong project pipeline of 132.7 GW planned between 2024 and 2026.

The ALMM Order mandates compliance with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and minimum efficiency thresholds, ensuring quality and performance for utility-scale solar projects.
