The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) publishes the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) listing a number of solar module producers.

The MNRE has updated the ALMM list 2023 with the addition of 14 new manufacturers. This is the 9th revision since it was first introduced in 2019.

Previously, the list was issued in September 2022 which included 75 solar producers and manufacturers and only domestic manufacturers were mentioned. According to the ALMM order, only the listed solar PV models and module manufacturers can participate in solar projects in the country.

These projects could be – government projects, government-assisted projects, projects under the government, government schemes & programs, open access and net-metering projects.

There are 14 new debutantsto ALMM such as Abhishek Solar Industries Pvt. Ltd, Aatmanirbhar Solar Pvt. Ltd., Ameya Solar & Semiconductor Pvt. Ltd., Agrawal Renewable Energy Pvt. Ltd, Sunify Solar LLP, Unique Sun Power LLP, Ankur Traders & Engineers Private Limited, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Credence Solar Panels Private Limited, Ganesh Electricals Pvt. Ltd, HR Solar Solution Private Limited, Innovative Solar Solutions, Plaza Power & Infrastructure Co. and Urjastrot Enterprise Pvt Ltd.
