The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has re-imposed the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) order for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules from 1st April 2024. In FY24, the ALMM was put on hold for the entire fiscal year to provide relief to solar PV manufacturers, who were faced with limited domestic availability. However in February 2024, the Ministry put the reimposition under abeyance “till further orders”. Each project where the solar PV modules have been received at the project site by 31 March 2024 and is unable to get commissioned by that day, on account of reasons beyond the control of the renewable power developer, would be examined separately. The list also applies to solar PV rooftop and PM KUSUM, which are subsidised.
In the order for FY24, projects commissioned by 31 March 2024 will be exempted from the requirement of procuring solar PV modules from ALMM.
The ALMM will not apply to projects set up under open access or as captive by private parties.
In other words, ALMM will not be applicable for people who set up their own capacity.
