India Hits 100 GW Solar Module Manufacturing Capacity Under ALMM

Officials attribute the surge to Production Linked Incentives for high-efficiency modules, marking a step towards India’s 500 GW non-fossil energy goal.

Overview

  • The Approved List of Models and Manufacturers now covers 100 companies running 123 module plants, up from 21 makers in March 2021.
  • Capacity under the ALMM framework jumped from 8.2 GW at its first listing to over 100 GW in just four years.
  • Domestic module output has risen more than twelvefold since 2014’s 2.3 GW baseline.
  • Leaders credit the PLI scheme and measures to level the playing field for driving investment in high-efficiency and vertically integrated production.
  • The government says the milestone advances Atmanirbhar Bharat and strengthens India’s position in global solar markets as it pursues its 2030 non-fossil capacity target.
