India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has released the ninth revision of its Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List-II for solar PV cells, according to a report from PV Tech. The update adds larger-format G12R n-type tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells from Emmvee Energy, Waaree Energies, and Avaada Electro, signaling a continued shift toward larger cell designs in the domestic manufacturing market.
Waaree Energies has introduced a G12R, 16-busbar n-type bifacial TOPCon cell, measuring 210mm by 182.3mm. The new cell has an average efficiency of 25.39% and an average wattage of 9.73W, compared with its previous M10R cell’s 25.54% efficiency and 8.53W wattage. The change primarily reflects a move to a larger format and higher wattage rather than an efficiency gain. The model will be produced at Waaree’s Navsari, Gujarat facility, with a validity period from December 15, 2025, to December 14, 2029.
Emmvee Energy has added its EM16D1-TCM12R bifacial mono-crystalline silicon TOPCon cell, which measures 182.3mm by 210mm and uses 16 busbars. It has an average efficiency of 25.60% and an average wattage of 9.80W. This builds on Emmvee’s earlier EM16D1-TCM10 model, which uses a smaller 182.2mm by 183.75mm format and has an average efficiency of 24.62% and wattage of 8.24W. The new model also has a higher listed manufacturing capacity of 2,153MW per year, up from 1,553MW for the earlier model. The listing is valid from July 31, 2025, to July 30, 2029, and production will occur at its Bengaluru, Karnataka facility.
Avaada Electro has added two G12R n-type TOPCon cell variants for its facility in the Butibori Industrial Area in Nagpur, Maharashtra. The first, N-G12R-16B-HC-AVA, is a half-cut cell measuring 105mm by 182.3mm, with an average efficiency of 25.83% and wattage of 4.93W. The second, N-G12R-16B-FC-AVA, is a full-cell version measuring 210mm by 182.3mm, with an average efficiency of 25.71% and wattage of 9.83W. Both use 16 busbars. Avaada’s earlier portfolio included G12 TOPCon cells with 18 busbars, with half-cut and full-cell variants having average efficiencies of 25.63% and 25.57%, respectively. The new models are listed from July 22, 2026, to July 21, 2030, and the company was first added to the list in the eighth revision published on July 22, 2026.
The revision also includes amendments to existing listings from other manufacturers. TP Solar has revised its mono-crystalline PERC and TOPCon bifacial cells produced at its Gangaikondan Industrial Park facility in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. For its 182.2mm by 182.2mm, 10-busbar PERC cell, the listed efficiency range has been changed from 22-23.7% to 20.50-23.70%, and wattage from 7.27-7.84W to 6.55-7.84W. Its TOPCon cell now has an efficiency range of 20.50-25.50% (previously 22.5-25.5%) and wattage of 6.55-8.43W (previously 7.44-8.43W). TP Solar was added to the list under the first revision in August 2025.
RenewSys has received a revision for its 182.2mm by 183.75mm, 16-busbar bifacial n-type TOPCon cell at its Maheswaram facility in Telangana, with an efficiency range of 20.50-25.60% and wattage of 6.85-8.54W. Premier Energies has revised its G12R, 182.3mm by 210mm, 16-busbar bifacial n-type TOPCon cell produced at its Telangana plant, covering efficiency from 22.50-26.00% and wattage from 8.61-9.95W. Reliance Industries has revised its HJT cell manufactured at its Jamnagar, Gujarat facility, which measures 210mm by 105mm and has no busbars, with an efficiency range of 23.80-26.00% and wattage of 5.28-5.74W.
