The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has updated the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) by adding 2,131 MW of HJT solar cell capacity in List-II in November 2026. With this, the cumulative cell manufacturing capacity enlisted in ALMM has reached 46,989 MW.

Reliance Industries has added 2,131 MW of HJT solar cell capacity from its plant in Jamnagar, Gujarat, taking its total enlisted capacity to 3,369 MW.

This is the 14th revision of the list since being first published on July 31, 2025.

Last month, the list was updated thrice. The list was last updated on October 28, 2026, when GREW Energy (GREW Solar) and Ampin Solar One, a Joint Venture between Ampin Energy Transition and Jupiter International, entered the list.

In the 13^th revision, GREW Solar added 2,407 MW of G12R TOPCon solar cell capacity from its plant in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh. Ampin Solar One added 1,160 MW of Bifacial Mono PERC solar cell capacity from its plant in Bhubaneswar, Orissa. Avaada Electro added 3,496 MW of G12R TOPCon solar cell capacity from its plant in Nagpur, taking the company’s total enlisted capacity to 7,117 MW.

The cut-off date for the implementation of ALMM List-II for utility-scale projects tendered by state and central utilities and REIAs where ALMM-II applicability is decided based on the date of bid submission, was August 31, 2025.

MNRE, however, has extended the exemption from ALMM II requirements of using domestically manufactured solar cells for net metering and open access solar projects till December 31, 2026.

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.
