The government extends the exemption timeline under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List-II for certain solar-related categories, including net-metering and open-access renewable energy (RE) projects. Multiple reports say the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has provided a relief window that allows eligible projects to commission with ALMM-II exemption up to December 31, 2026. The ministry also clarifies that the policy itself is not changed for the broader ALMM List-II implementation for solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. Sources agree there is no blanket extension of ALMM applicability across all solar projects. Instead, the exemption is limited specifically to net-metering projects and open-access RE power projects. NDTV and other outlets highlight the MNRE statement that there is no change regarding ALMM List-II implementation for solar PV cells, while Business Standard reports emphasize the “no blanket extension” position, characterizing the measure as a targeted extension for select project types within the stated deadline.
