- Manufacturers continue to upgrade designs and expand capacity. They demonstrate a strong commitment to quality while maintaining an active voice in India’s renewable energy transition.
- The ALMM update strengthens investor confidence. It encourages companies to adopt advanced module technologies and reinforces the sector’s momentum through an active voice approach.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has released the latest edition of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar modules. The update marks a significant milestone for India’s solar manufacturing landscape. The list now welcomes two new manufacturers: Sirius Solar Energy and Jeem Energy. Moreover, the latest entries and recent capacity expansions have pushed India’s ALMM-listed module capacity to 121.7 GW. This figure now far exceeds the country’s expected annual solar installations. As a result, the industry shows strong signs of growth and maturity.
Sirius Solar Energy, a Telangana-based company, has joined the ALMM for the first time with a capacity of 67 MW. The firm has listed mono-PERC modules rated at 530 Wp with efficiencies ranging from 19.73% to 21.28%. In addition, Sirius Solar operates a semi-automated manufacturing facility in Hyderabad. It also produces solar lanterns, solar streetlights and other solar-powered appliances. This inclusion strengthens regional manufacturing and showcases expanding technical capability.
Jeem Energy Private Limited, based in Rajkot, Gujarat, has also secured a place on the ALMM. The company has been listed with 172 MW of module manufacturing capacity. It has introduced bifacial mono-PERC modules that use glass-to-transparent-backsheet technology. This design enhances energy yield and expands product options. Corporate records show leadership under directors such as Chetan Laxmanbhai Dhrangadiya and Jignesh P. Virani. Jeem Energy’s entry highlights the growing diversity of domestic manufacturers that are embracing advanced technologies.
Meanwhile, several established companies have expanded their certified capacities. These firms include Sova Solar, with 1,368 MW, and Navitas Solar, with 1,142 MW. Avaada Electro has added 6,909 MW, while Future Solar Green Energies now lists 5,001 MW. Furthermore, some manufacturers have added new models to their approved portfolios. These include SALE Solar, Maitri Shree Techno Industries, Sahaj Solar, Sova Solar and Navitas Solar. Their additions reflect ongoing innovation and a strong push for higher standards.
Collectively, these developments show a sector moving with purpose. They also confirm India’s growing confidence in domestic solar manufacturing.
