The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), in its seventh Approved List of Module Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar cells, has added Renewsys India Pvt. Ltd. and revised the solar cell manufacturing capacity for Waaree Energies, marking another update in India’s approved domestic manufacturing base.
MNRE has enlisted Renewsys India Pvt. Ltd. with a manufacturing capacity of 452 MW per year for its bifacial N-type TOPCon solar cells (182.2 mm × 183.75 mm, 16 busbar, PID-free). These cells report an average efficiency of 24.60%, with an efficiency range of 24.00% to 25.60%. The wattage is specified at 8.23 W, ranging from 8.03 W to 8.54 W. The enlistment is valid from April 30, 2026, to April 29, 2030.
Waaree Energies has revised the enlisted capacity for its manufacturing unit in Chikhli, Navsari, Gujarat. The facility continues to hold an enlisted capacity of 1,328 MW per year, with updated performance metrics. The revised efficiency range now stands at 22.00% to 23.70%, with wattage ranging around 7.85 W (min–max). Earlier figures indicated an efficiency range of approximately 22.00%–23.70%, with previously noted wattages between 7.36 W and 7.85 W.
Continuing with the same capacity under the ALMM listing, where Waaree had reported an output of 1,328 MW per year for monocrystalline PERC (P-type) bifacial solar cells (182.2 mm × 182.2 mm, 10-busbar, PID-free). Now the company has revised the average efficiency of the cell to 23.55% and a wattage of 7.78 W, with an efficiency range between 22.20% and 23.50%. Similarly, continuing with Waaree’s earlier enlistment of 3,923 MW/year for its WSC-N-M10R-16BB mono TOPCon solar cells, but it has now revised the range of efficiency to 24.0% -25.80% and 8.00 W to 8.68 W.  
India had earlier seen India pass the 30 GW solar cell manufacturing mark, driven by fresh additions and capacity upgrades reflected in the latest update to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s (MNRE) Approved List.
Among the key additions, Reliance Industries Limited has been enlisted for its Jamnagar, Gujarat facility with a capacity of 1,238 MW per year for advanced heterojunction (HJT) solar cells (210 mm × 105 mm, no busbar, PID-free). These high-efficiency cells deliver an average efficiency of 25.40% with a wattage of 5.60 Wp per cell. The enlistment remains valid from April 13, 2026, to April 12, 2030.
Jupiter Solartech Private Limited secured its third enlistment under ALMM-II, adding around 991 MW per year of mono PERC bifacial solar cell capacity. This builds on earlier enlistments of Jupiter International Limited (Units 1 and 2), which had added 339 MW and 440 MW per year, respectively, in June 2025 at its Baddi facility in Himachal Pradesh. The company has now expanded further with Unit III in the same industrial cluster.
Meanwhile, Websol Energy System Limited has scaled up its enlisted capacity to 1,202 MW per year at its Falta Special Economic Zone facility in West Bengal. The upgraded capacity covers mono-crystalline PERC (P-type bifacial) cells in 182.2 mm × 182.2 mm and 182.2 mm × 183.75 mm formats (10 busbar, PID-free) under the WS182MP10 category. These cells achieve an average efficiency of 23.55% with a wattage of 7.77 W, and operate within a range of 19.00% to 23.60% efficiency and 6.29 W to 7.88 W.
