India has achieved the milestone of 100GW of solar PV module manufacturing capacity
enlisted under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for Solar PV Modules, a New and Renewable Energy ministry statement said.
This achievement reflects the country’s rapid progress in building a robust and self-reliant solar
manufacturing ecosystem, aligned with the national vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and the global imperative for clean energy transition.
Highlighting this achievement, Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Shri Pralhad Joshi
said: “ India has achieved a historic milestone -100 GW Solar PV Module Manufacturing Capacity
under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), a remarkable rise from just 2.3
GW in 2014! Driven by the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and
transformative initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High-Efficiency
Solar Modules, we are building a robust, self-reliant solar manufacturing ecosystem. This
achievement strengthens our path towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and the target of 500 GW non-fossil
capacity by 2030.”
The Government of India’s commitment is to make India self-reliant in solar PV manufacturing and
establish the country as a major player in the global value chain. This commitment is supported
through a comprehensive set of initiatives, including the PLI Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV
Modules and measures to provide a level playing field for the Indian manufacturers. The catalytic
effect of these interventions has resulted in an expansion in solar module manufacturing capacity,
from just 2.3GW in 2014 to over 100GW today. This reinforces India’s commitment to achieving
500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and contributes meaningfully to global decarbonization
efforts. - TradeAabia News Service
