Evervolt Solar Technology India has entered the list with 1,074 MW of bi-facial Mono PERC solar cells capacity from its plant in Andhra Pradesh.
Premier Energies Photovoltaic have added 1,358 MW of bifacial N-Type TOPCon solar cells capacity. It already has 751 MW of Mono PERC cells enlisted, while Premier Energies International have 1,174 MW of capacity. With this addition, Premier Energies’ total enlisted capacity has increased to 3,282 MW.
Mundra Solar PV has increased its bifacial N-Type TOPCon solar cells capacity by 405 MW to 2,298 MW. Further, Mundra Solar Energy have already enlisted 1,939 MW of Bifacial Mono PERC capacity in the inaugural list. With this, Adani Solar’s capacity has reached 4,237 MW.
FS India Solar Ventures (First Solar) has added 221 MW to reach 3,433 MW.
The list has been revised four times since being first published on July 31, 2025. It was last updated on December 15, 2025, when Waaree Energies entered the list with 5,251 MW capacity from its plant in Chikhli, Gujarat, with 1,328 MW of Mono PERC and 3,923 MW of TOPCon bifacial solar cell capacity.
In the November 2025 revision, Websol Energy Systems entered the ALMM List-II by adding 602 MW of Mono Crystalline PERC (Bifacial) solar cell capacity from its plant in Falta, West Bengal.
In the first revision in September 2025, Tata Power added 4,813 MW of solar cell capacity. While TP Solar added 4,480 MW of Mono Crystalline PERC Bifacial Solar cell capacity and 53 MW of Mono Crystalline TOPCon Bifacial Solar cell capacity from its plant in Tamil Nadu. TPREL added 280 MW of Bifacial Mono c-Si PERC Cells capacity from its plant located in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
In the inaugural list, three manufacturers besides Adani Solar, Premier Energies and First Solar added solar cell manufacturing capacities. Emmvee Energy added a capacity of 1,553 MW in TOPCon solar cells from its plant in Karnataka. ReNew Photovoltaics added 1,766 MW of capacity in Mono PERC solar cells. Jupiter International added a total of 779 MW capacity in Mono PERC solar cells.
The ALMM List-II for solar cells will be implemented effective June 1, 2026. However, the cut-off date for the implementation of ALMM List-II was August 31, 2025. For Net-Metering and Open Access projects, if commissioned prior to the effective date of June 1, 2026, the projects are exempt from ALMM for solar cells.
In September 2025, MNRE also issued a draft amendment in the ALMM framework to include solar wafers. As per the draft, ALMM List-III for wafers will come into effect from June 1, 2028, subject to the condition that at least three independent wafer manufacturing units are operational, with a combined annual capacity of 15 GW. Importantly, enlisted wafer manufacturers must also have equivalent ingot manufacturing capacity, ensuring integrated upstream production.
