The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has issued a draft amendment to the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List-II for solar photovoltaic (PV) cells from April 1, 2026 to accommodate the expected increase in solar PV cell capacity.

Under the new guidelines, all projects falling under the purview of ALMM must source their solar PV modules from models and manufacturers included in ALMM List-I for solar PV modules. These solar PV modules will have to use solar PV cells from amongst the models and manufacturers enlisted in ALMM List-II for solar PV cells. Furthermore, solar PV modules already listed in ALMM list-I, with enlistment validity beyond March 31, 2026, will also be required to use solar PV cells from ALMM list-II starting April 1, 2026. Projects with bid submission deadlines prior to the issuance of this order will be exempt from the mandatory use of ALMM-listed cells. Projects which have been bid after the amendment has been issued will have to observe the new rules.
