MNRE proposes ALMM expansion to include solar PV cells, raising concerns over cost and supply
By November 4, 2024November 4, 2024

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has proposed adding solar photovoltaic (PV) cells to its Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), with implementation expected by April 2026. This new category, termed “ALMM List-II,” would mandate that all ALMM-compliant solar projects source cells from certified domestic manufacturers. Experts caution that this move could increase tariffs by 40-50 paise per unit, affecting project costs, timelines, and India’s renewable energy targets. Industry leaders, including AMPIN…

India’s renewable energy goals may increase dependence on solar imports, GTRI warns
By October 21, 2024October 21, 2024

India’s target of installing 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030 could drive its annual solar equipment import bill to USD 30 billion, according to a report by think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI). The report emphasizes that without significant investments in developing a self-reliant solar manufacturing industry, particularly in polysilicon and wafer production, India may struggle to meet its ambitious goals and reduce import costs. India installed 15 GW of solar capacity in…
