ALMM Update: MNRE Adds 5,255 MW of Solar Module Capacity in November 2025

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has added 5,255 MW of new solar module capacity to ALMM List-I in November 2025, taking the total enlisted domestic capacity to 121,722 MW. The latest update features two new manufacturers—Sirius Solar Energy Systems (67 MW) and Jeem Energy (172 MW).

Several existing producers have also expanded their capacities. Avaada Electro recorded the largest increase, adding 2,798 MW from its Nagpur facility and lifting its total ALMM-listed capacity to 8,220 MW across its Nagpur and Dadri plants. FS Green Energies (Future Solar) added 2,105 MW, taking its total to 5,001 MW, while Navitas Solar and Sova Solar added 42 MW and 71 MW, reaching 1,142 MW and 1,368 MW respectively.

This follows MNRE’s previous update on October 13, 2025, when 6,922 MW of additional module capacity was listed. That round featured new entries such as Solitech Green Energy, Surana Solar, and the Suryanand Solar Cluster Association, along with major expansions by Gautam Solar, Bluebird Solar, Goldi Solar, Rayzon Solar, Jakson Engineers, and Emmvee Energy.

The ALMM framework, introduced in 2021, ensures that only approved and compliant module manufacturers can participate in government-linked projects and tenders. The list is continuously updated to maintain quality standards within the sector.

Beyond modules, MNRE is also expanding the ALMM’s scope. Solar PV cells will be covered from June 1, 2026, under ALMM List-II, which now has 18,481 MW of enlisted capacity after Websol Energy Systems added 602 MW of Mono PERC bifacial cell capacity in November 2025.

MNRE has additionally proposed ALMM List-III for solar wafers, expected to take effect from June 1, 2028, subject to the commissioning of at least 15 GW of domestic wafer production capacity backed by equivalent ingot manufacturing facilities.
