The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has updated the approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM), adding 1,541 MW of solar module manufacturing capacity.
India’s total module manufacturing capacity under the ALMM now stands at 64.56 GW. The latest update includes two new entrants: Indosolar Limited, with an approved capacity of 1,525 MW, and Visaka Industries Limited, with 16 MW. Indosolar has been approved to manufacture bifacial mono- passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) and bifacial tunnel oxide passivated contact solar modules. Visaka Industries, headquartered in Telangana, has been approved for its mono-PERC-based solar modules. The updated ALMM now lists 97 domestic solar module manufacturers, an increase from the previous list issued on December 26, 2024. The ALMM mandate requires all solar projects receiving government subsidies to use modules from this approved list.
