Four new entrants have added a cumulative of 1,638 MW capacity. SLR Solar (1,020 MW), Veda Solar (546 MW), Senses14 Power Solution (57 MW) and Poola Energy (15 MW) are the new entrants in ALMM List-I.
Among the existing players, Adani New Industries (Adani Solar), Fujiyama Power Systems and HR Solar Solution have added capacities from their new manufacturing plants. While Adani New Industries has added 4,781 MW from a new plant in Kutch, Gujarat, Fujiyama Power Systems has added 1,014 MW from a new plant in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh. HR Solar Solution have added 631 MW from a new plant in Howrah, West Bengal.
Other existing players that have increased capacities include Credence Solar Panels (1,796 MW), SAEL Solar P6 (SAEL Industries) (2,694 MW) and RPSG Solvanta (249 MW). However, post-updation of models, the enlisted capacity of Sova Solar has decreased slightly by 79 MW.
The list was last updated on July 6, 2026, when MNRE added 10,494 MW of solar module capacity, taking the total capacity listed under ALMM List-I to 204,383 MW.
Introduced in 2021, the ALMM serves as a critical quality control measure, ensuring that only approved solar module manufacturers are eligible for government projects, subsidies, and tenders. The list is regularly updated to reflect the status of compliant manufacturers.
Solar cells have also come under the ambit of ALMM. However, for net metering and open access solar projects, MNRE has extended the exemption from ALMM List-II implementation till December 31, 2026. On July 31, 2025, MNRE released the first edition of its ALMM List-II for solar PV cells. Subsequently, the list has been revised eight times, with the total enlisted capacity reaching 31,758 MW from 14 manufacturers.
In March 2026, MNRE expanded its ALMM framework to include ingots and wafers under a new List-III, mandating their use from June 1, 2028. The first list will be published when at least three independent wafer manufacturers with a combined 15 GW capacity are enlisted, and the cut-off date will be 7 days post the initial list issuance.
