In addition to the potential ALMM extension, the government has taken other key steps to bolster domestic solar manufacturing, including high import duties on modules and cells and the introduction of Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes.
MUMBAI: The recent government move to extend the approved lists of models and manufacturers (ALMMs) to solar cells from June 2026 will accelerate the development of domestic solar cell manufacturing, leading to the domestic capacity more than quadrupling to 43-47 gw by June 2026 from 10 gw in March 2024, but provided timely execution.
(Image/Reuters) Even though the government’s decision to include solar cells — and not just PV modules — under the Approved Lists of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) starting June 1, 2026, but may in the short term inflate delivered costs of domestic modules, drive up the capital cost of projects and affect timelines, analysts say.
Crisil estimates domestic solar cell manufacturing capacity to more than quadruple to 43-47 GW by June 2026 from 10 GW in March 2024. The average annual demand is expected to be 40-45 GW between fiscals 2027 and 2030. (Image/Reuters)
The industry experts believe that while the domestic supply of solar cells is expected to increase, there could be a transient shortfall till manufacturing ramps up. As per Crisil, the prices of Indian solar cells today are 1.5-2.0 times more than alternatives from China even after basic customs duty.
