The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has increased the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) by including an additional 3,501 MW of solar module capacity.
This brings the total cumulative manufacturing capacity of modules to 37,421 MW. Tata Power Solar contributes 2,525 MW to the recently added capacity, whereas Goldi Solar adds 976 MW. Following this recent addition, the ALMM currently encompasses 81 module manufacturers. Despite the most recent update, the ALMM still does not include any foreign manufacturers. The MNRE has implemented notable changes to the ALMM by incorporating an additional module technology and setting minimum efficiency standards. These listed efficiencies serve as compulsory benchmarks for modules utilised in government projects.
