Tata Power has entered the list with its two manufacturing units under TP Solar and Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL). TP Solar has 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 has added 280 MW of Bifacial Mono c-Si PERC Cells capacity from its plant located in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
The list was first published on July 31, 2025, with a total capacity of 13,066 MW from six manufacturers. Adani Solar added the highest capacity among all at 3,832 MW from its 2 units – Mundra Solar Energy adding 1,939 MW of Bifacial Mono PERC and Mundra Solar PV adding 1,893 MW of Bifacial N-Type TOPCon solar cells.
FS India Solar Ventures (First Solar) added 3,212 MW. Emmvee Energy has added a capacity of 1,553 MW in TOPCon solar cells from its plant in Karnataka. Premier Energies enlisted a total capacity of 1,924 MW in Mono PERC cells, with Premier Energies Photovoltaic adding 751 MW and Premier Energies International adding 1,174 MW. 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.
However, some of the notable names which has already announced operationalisation of solar cell plants, including Waaree Energies and Websol Energy, are still missing from the list.
The ALMM List-II for solar cells will be implemented effective June 1, 2026.
Recently, MNRE also clarified that the cut-off date for the implementation of ALMM List-II for solar PV cells will be one month after the publication of the list. “The first version of the ALMM List-II for solar PV cells was issued on July 31, 2025, thereby fixing the aforesaid ‘Cut-off date’ as August 31, 2025,” it said.
The Ministry clarified that for all projects which are mandated to use solar PV modules from ALMM List-I for solar PV modules, if the last date of bid submission is on or before the cut-off date, such projects shall be mandated to use solar PV modules from ALMM List-I for solar PV modules, but will stand exempted from the requirement of using solar PV cells from ALMM List-II for solar PV cells, irrespective of their date of commissioning. “Such projects will be exempt from the requirement of using solar PV cells from ALMM List-II, even if their date of commissioning is beyond June 1, 2026,” explained the MNRE.
It further added that if the project is participating in the bid as an already commissioned project with commissioning achieved on or prior to the cut-off date of August 31, 2025, such project shall be exempt from the purview of ALMM for solar cells.
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, the Ministry said.
Earlier this month, MNRE 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.
