Solar industry will change in two years and now only 'Made in India' solar cells will be used
The government has said that for government-supported projects, net metering projects, and open-access renewable energy projects, solar energy equipment will have to be purchased only from the companies included in this list. The government has not released this list till now because the number of companies manufacturing solar cells in the country was very less.
The central government has taken a major step toward becoming self-reliant in the solar energy sector. After June 2026, only solar modules or solar cells produced in India will be used in any (government or private) solar project to be set up in the country. For this, the government has made necessary provisions by making mandatory amendments to the Approved Modules and Manufacturers of Solar Photovoltaic Order (ALMM-2019).
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has said that this amendment will prove to be an important step for the Indian solar energy sector and towards adopting clean energy. This is the much-awaited list of solar TV cell manufacturing companies under the ALMM framework. Only the companies included in this list will supply solar modules and cells after June 2026.
The government said that the solar energy equipment for government-supported projects, net metering projects, and open-access renewable energy projects will have to be bought only from the companies included in this list. The government was not releasing this list till now because the number of companies manufacturing solar cells in the country was very low and it was not known whether they would be able to meet the demand of domestic projects or not.
