India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has actually revealed the reimposition of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), efficient from 1 April.
On 29 March 2024, MNRE revealed that the ALMM for solar PV modules “will appropriately enter impact from 1 April 2024”.

It included: “Each job where the solar PV modules have actually been gotten at the task website by 31 March 2024 and is not able to get commissioned by that day, on account of factors beyond the control of the sustainable power designer, would be analyzed independently.”
MNRE revealed that ALMM was suspended from March 2023 due to issues over an insufficient supply of domestically-made modules to satisfy need. Therefore, tasks commissioned by the end of March 2024 will be excused from the requirement of acquiring solar PV modules from ALMM.
The ALMM was at first set to be reimposed on 1 April, as revealed by MNRE on 9 February. At that time, MNRE specified that the ALMM would not use to jobs “established under open gain access to” and rooftop solar jobs by personal celebrations. The most current statement from MNRE has actually brought about a modification, getting rid of these exemptions for these jobs.
In addition, MNRE revealed on 15 February that it had actually chosen to suspend the reimposition of ALMM “till additional orders”.
Market observers have actually recommended the federal government requires to more clarify the information of the ALMM before reimposing it, so regarding prevent ending up being overwhelmed by petitions and disagreements that might restrict capability additions in India.
In the newest statement made by MNRE, the federal government did not inform the factor for reimposing the ALMM.
Prior to the reimposition of the ALMM, MNRE established the minimum effectiveness requirements for cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film modules to be employed in the ALMM for solar PV modules. The statement from MNRE divides CdTe thin-film modules into 3 classifications based upon their uses: energy or grid-scale power plants, roof and solar pumping, and solar lighting. For energy or grid-scale power plants, the needed minimum effectiveness is 19%, the greatest amongst all classifications.
For roof and solar pumping and solar lighting, the needed minimum performances are 18.5% and 18%, respectively.
