Accelerating its push for creating domestic manufacturing capacities across the solar value chain, the government proposed mandating the use of India-made wafers under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) starting June 1, 2028. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, in a draft amendment to the ALMM order, proposes creating an ALMM List-III for wafers, on the lines of solar modules and cells. Stakeholders are invited to submit their comments and suggestions by October 11, 2025.
