MNRE Updates ALMM List I Solar PV Module Manufacturing Standards

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued an updated Office Memorandum on 3 August 2026 revising the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List I for Solar PV Modules, adding new approved models and removing discontinued ones. This update is a mandatory compliance requirement for all solar module manufacturers and importers seeking to sell modules in India for grid-connected projects and incentive schemes. The ALMM list serves as the regulatory gatekeeping mechanism for module quality and technical standards. Solar manufacturers, project developers, and procurement authorities must verify module compliance against the updated list before purchase or deployment. Non-compliance can result in project ineligibility for subsidies and grid-connection approval.
