To closely monitor the component solar suppliers and their manufacturing facilities, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has made it mandatory for solar cell and module manufacturers to register under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). Only manufacturers enlisted in ALMM can supply to the projects tendered by the government agencies. On March 10 this year, the Ministry released the first list of module manufacturers. For tenders issued after April 10, 2021, developers have to procure modules only from the list of module manufacturers enlisted under ALMM.
