The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has published a revised Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar cells. The updated list now includes Tata Power’s 4,813 MW of solar cell manufacturing capacity—comprising 4,533 MW in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, and 280 MW in Bengaluru, Karnataka. This addition brings the total ALMM-enlisted solar cell capacity to 17,880 MW, up from the previous total of 13,067 MW.

Tata Power’s ALMM-enlisted solar cells include monocrystalline PERC bifacial solar cells (182.2 mm × 182.2 mm, 10-busbar) with efficiencies ranging from 22.00% to 23.70% and output between 7.27 W to 7.84 W; monocrystalline TOPCon bifacial solar cells (182.2 mm × 182.2 mm, 10-busbar) with efficiencies ranging from 22.50% to 25.50% and output between 7.44 W to 8.43 W; and bifacial mono c-Si PERC cells (182 mm × 182 mm, 10-busbar) with efficiencies ranging from 20% to 23.5% and output between 6.6 W to 7.75 W.

Other cell manufacturers on the list are FS India (First Solar’s India arm), Jupiter, Emmvee, Mundra (Adani), Premier Energies, and ReNew.
