The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has updated the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar photovoltaic modules, adding 3,015 MW of new capacity.

The cumulative module manufacturing capacity stands at 67,401 MW.

New entries to the list included BVG India adding 367 MW, KLK Ventures adding 33 MW, and SAN Energy and Solution adding 27 MW to the total added capacity.

Rayzon Solar, Sova Solar, Spark Solar Technologies, Swelect HHV Solar, and Vikram Solar increased their capacity by 1,369 MW, 765 MW, 82 MW, 76 MW, and 296 MW, respectively.

Emmvee Energy, Rajratna Ventures, ORB Energy, Renewsys India, and ReNew were included in the provisional ALMM list with an applied capacity of 6,495 MW.

The ALMM increased to 90 module manufacturers after these additions.

MNRE had updated the ALMM earlier this month. These updates included an addition to the provisional ALMM featuring Insolar Limited with a capacity of 1,525 MW and Visaka Industries (ATUM Division) with a capacity of 16 MW. Waaree Energies and Mundra Solar Energy, part of the Adani Group, were also incorporated into the ALMM, adding an applied capacity of 11,610 MW per year.

In December 2024, MNRE expanded the ALMM by adding 2,271 MW of solar module capacity. Bluebird Solar, Novasys Greenergy, ReNew Photovoltaics, and Saatvik Green Energy are the companies that added capacities.

The ministry also introduced List-II for solar cells ALMM. It will be effective from June 1, 2026. The inclusion of solar cells in ALMM addresses the growing domestic production capacity. Projects mandated to use ALMM-enlisted modules (List-I) must ensure these modules are manufactured using cells from List-II. Exceptions are provided for projects with bid submission deadlines preceding the issuance of this order, exempting them from the List-II requirement, irrespective of their commissioning date.
