Author: PPD Team Date: January 9, 2025
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has updated its approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM), increasing India’s total solar module manufacturing capacity under the list to 64.56 GW.
The latest update includes two new manufacturers: Indosolar Limited, with an approved capacity of 1,525 MW, and Visaka Industries Limited, with 16 MW. Indosolar will produce bifacial mono-passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) and bifacial tunnel oxide passivated contact solar modules. Telangana-based Visaka Industries will manufacture mono-PERC-based solar modules.
The revised ALMM lists 97 domestic solar module manufacturers, up from the previous list issued on December 26, 2024. The ALMM mandate ensures that solar projects availing government subsidies use modules from this list.
