Avaada Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Gujarat to establish 5 GW of solar power projects, 1 GW wind power project and 5 GWh of battery energy storage system projects with a total investment of INR 36,000 crore.

ACME Group has appointed Jitendra Agrawal as chief operating officer to lead the growth of its renewable energy equipment manufacturing business in India and key international markets.

India installed 17.5 GW of solar and 2.6 GW of wind power capacity in the first five months of FY2026 (April–August 2025), according to a new report by ICRA.

TOPCon led module manufacturing capacity additions with 39.9 GW, followed by 3 GW of monocrystalline modules. For the first time, 1.2 GW of HJT module capacity was added in the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today laid the foundation stone of Avaada Group’s 1,560 MWp solar plus 2,500 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Pugal, and also inaugurated its 200 MW AC (282 MWp) solar power plant in Shri Dungargarh, both located in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district.

With the addition of Tata Power’s 4.8 GW capacity, the total ALMM-enlisted solar cell capacity has increased to 17.8 GW, up from 13 GW.

Gautam Solar has unveiled its 630Wp R-Series TOPCon solar modules for utility-scale PV projects. The new modules are ALMM and BIS approved, ensuring compliance for government projects and large-scale tenders, while meeting the highest industry standards.

Avaada Electro has announced the inclusion of its Butibori (Maharashtra) and Dadri (Uttar Pradesh) solar module manufacturing lines in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India. This takes its combined ALMM enlisted capacity to over 5,400 MW a year.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated Avaada Group’s 280 MW solar power plant in Surendranagar district, Gujarat. The project features Avaada Electro’s ALMM-certified, Make-in-India TOPCon n-type bifacial solar PV modules. On the same occasion, the Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for Avaada’s upcoming 100 MW solar project in Vadodara district.

The draft order for the implementation of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for wafers and ingots clearly indicates the government’s commitment to advancing domestic solar PV upstream integration and bridging the capacity gap between modules, cells, and wafers. Issuing this order nearly three years before its effective date and one year before the implementation of ALMM List-II will allow solar manufacturers to plan for wafer capacity alongside their upcoming cell capacities.
