The government plans to introduce an Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar PV cells to support India's green energy transition.
The ALMM order for solar modules was implemented in 2019 to promote the manufacturing and usage of made-in-India solar panels.
List II of solar PV cells under ALMM has not been issued yet due to lower demand, but is expected to be effective from April 1, 2026.
The introduction of ALMM for solar cells will boost domestic manufacturing, promote self-reliance, and reduce dependency on imports for achieving long-term renewable energy goals.
