Centre provides extended Relief Window for Select Solar Projects up to December

Published: Jul 20, 2026

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, JULY 20, 2026: THE Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (M/o N&RE) has decided that while there will be no change in the policy of Government of India in respect of implementation of Approved List of Models & Manufacturers (ALMM) List-II for solar PV cells, and no blanket extension in applicability of ALMM List-II for solar power projects will be provided, however, a limited window is being provided for Net-metering projects and Open Access RE power projects, whereby such projects can now commission with exemption of ALMM List-II (for solar PV cells), till 31 st December 2026. Earlier this dispensation for the limited segment of Net-metering projects and Open Access renewable power projects, was available till 31 st May 2026.

This step will also help the standalone solar PV module manufacturers by providing them protection of investments already made, in the form of inventories, through additional demand creation. This will also provide them sufficient time before they could effectively increase their sourcing of solar cells from ALMM List-II enlisted solar cell manufacturers, as the solar cell capacity in ALMM List-II continues to rise steadily.

The decision is a result of detailed deliberations with various stakeholders of the solar industry, to ensure a smooth transition to ALMM List-II (for solar PV cells), for the Net-metering projects and Open Access renewable power projects.

Solar PV manufacturing remains a significant focus of the Government's efforts. The Government is committed to making India self-reliant (Atmanirbhar) in solar PV manufacturing and establishing India as a major player in the global value chain.
