India’s MNRE has published its updated list of approved solar manufacturers and PV modules. The panels on the list are Bureau of Indian Standards compliant and meet the ministry’s module efficiency criteria.
The total ALMM listed module capacity has now exceeded 50 GW. The list is dominated by monocrystalline passivated emitter and back contact modules (PERC), but also includes n-type tunnel oxide passivated contact modules (TOPCon) from manufacturers such as Emmvee, Ganesh Green, Gautam Solar, Luminous Power, Mundra Solar, Pahal Solar, Premier Energies, Rayzon Solar, RenewSys and Waaree Energies.
MNRE has reinstated the ALMM mandate effective April 1, 2024. Only solar products and manufacturers on the MNRE-approved ALMM are eligible for government-backed projects. The policy was introduced by the MNRE to protect the domestic industry from dumping of Chinese products.
The ALMM mandate gives domestic manufacturers the opportunity to serve a significant market by creating a non-tariff barrier for Chinese products.
