India’s total enlisted cell manufacturing capacity crossed the 30 GW mark as new additions and expansions featured in the latest updated list issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The Approved List of Module Manufacturers (ALMM-II) for solar cells sees Reliance Industries Limited make its debut, even as Jupiter International Limited’s subsidiary Jupiter Solartech Private Limited is also to the list, while revising capacity of Websol Energy System to scale domestic solar cell capacity.
MNRE has enlisted Reliance Industries Limited for its Jamnagar, Gujarat facility with 1238 MW per year capacity for advanced HJT solar cells (210 mm × 105 mm, no bus bar, PID-free). These cells promise an average efficiency of 25.40% with a wattage of 5.60 Wp/per cell. The enl;istment is valid from 13 April 2026 to 12 April 2030 for all additions to the list.
For Jupiter, the update marks its third enlistment under ALMM-II, with Jupiter Solartech Private Limited securing around 991 MW per year capacity for Mono PERC bifacial solar cells (P-type, 182.2 mm × 183.75 mm, 10BB, PID-free). The listing applies to modules of size 182.2 × 183.75 mm. These cells achieve an average efficiency of 23.70% with a wattage of 7.94 W, while offering an efficiency range of 20.00% to 23.80%, corresponding to a wattage range of 6.69 W to 7.97 W. 
This follows the earlier inclusion of Jupiter International Limited (Unit 1 & 2), which had enlisted capacities of 339 MW per year and 440 MW per year in June 2025 for its facility at Village Katha, PO & Tehsil Baddi, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh – 173205. The company has now added another facility at Floor No. Unit III in the same industrial cluster.
In parallel, Websol Energy System Limited has upgraded its enlisted capacity for its facility at Sector II, Falta Special Economic Zone, Falta, 24 Parganas (South), West Bengal, to 1202 MW per year. The capacity applies to mono crystalline PERC (bifacial), P-type bifacial cells in dimensions of 182.2 mm × 182.2 mm and 182.2 mm × 183.75 mm (10BB, PID-free), under the WS182MP10 (WS182MP10R) category. These cells deliver an average efficiency of 23.55% and a wattage of 7.77 W, with an efficiency range of 19.00% to 23.60%, translating to a wattage range of 6.29 W to 7.88 W (min–max).
Notably, the revised capacity marks a significant jump from the earlier 602 MW per year recorded in November 2025 for the same facility, underscoring the company’s scale-up in manufacturing capabilities.
Crossing the 30 GW mark is an important milestone, but perhaps not enough, considering the looming June deadline for a more comprehensive switch to domestically made cells in modules used in India. Most manufacturers have found cell manufacturing a wholly different cup of team as compared to module assembly, and it remains to be seen if the deadline is extended or not, as many hope it will be.
