Reliance Industries Enters ALMM List-II for Solar Cells, Total Enlisted Capacity Crosses 30 GW

Reliance has entered the ALMM List-II for solar PV cells by adding 1,238 MW of HJT solar cell capacity, while Jupiter International has added 991 MW of Mono PERC capacity from its new plant in Himachal Pradesh. Websol has enhanced its capacity by 600 MW to reach 1,202 MW. Total enlisted capacity in ALMM List-II has increased to 30,056 MW.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has added 2,829 MW of solar cell manufacturing capacity in its ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) List-II for solar PV cells. With this, the total enlisted capacity in ALMM List-II has increased to 30,056 MW, and the number of manufacturers has increased to 12.
 
Reliance Industries has entered the list by adding 1,238 MW of HJT solar cell capacity from its plant in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
 
Jupiter Solartech, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jupiter International, have added 991 MW of Mono PERC Bifacial Solar Cell capacity from its plant in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. With this, Jupiter International’s total enlisted capacities have increased to 1,770 MW.
 
Websol Energy Systems has added 600 MW of Mono Crystalline PERC (Bifacial) solar cell capacity from its plant in Falta, West Bengal, increasing total capacity to 1,202 MW.
 
The list has been revised six times since being first published on July 31, 2025.
 
In February 2026, MNRE revised the ALMM List-II for solar PV cells twice by adding a total capacity of 3,495 MW. While Fujiyama Power Systems (UTL Solar) entered the list by adding 437 MW of bifacial Mono PERC solar cell capacity, Evervolt Solar Technology India added 1,074 MW of bi-facial Mono PERC solar cells capacity from its plant in Andhra Pradesh.
 
Among the existing players, Premier Energies Photovoltaic added 1,358 MW of bifacial N-Type TOPCon solar cells capacity, increasing Premier Energies’ total enlisted capacity to 3,282 MW. Mundra Solar PV (Adani Solar) increased its bifacial N-Type TOPCon solar cells capacity by 405 MW to 2,298 MW. Adani Solar’s total enlisted capacity reached 4,237 MW. FS India Solar Ventures (First Solar) added 221 MW to reach 3,433 MW.
 
In the December 2025 update, 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 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, two manufacturers besides Adani Solar, Jupiter International, 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.
 
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.
 
Last month, 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 after the initial list is issued.
