The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has updated the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List-II for solar photovoltaic cells, adding 3,709 MW of TOPCon cell capacity in August 2026. The latest update takes the total solar cell manufacturing capacity enlisted under ALMM List-II to 35,467 MW.

Three existing manufacturers increased their capacities in the latest revision. Avaada Electro added 3,011 MW of TOPCon G12R cell capacity from its Nagpur facility, taking its total ALMM-listed capacity to 3,621 MW.

Emmvee Energy increased its listed capacity by 600 MW to 2,153 MW, while Waaree Energies added 98 MW of TOPCon cell capacity, taking its TOPCon capacity to 4,021 MW. Including its 1,328 MW of Mono PERC capacity, Waaree’s total ALMM-listed cell capacity has reached 5,349 MW.

The August update marks the ninth revision of ALMM List-II since the list was first introduced on July 31, 2025. The previous revision, issued on July 22, 2026, included Avaada Electro’s initial 610 MW N-type TOPCon G12 solar cell capacity and an increase in Fujiyama Power Systems’ listed bifacial Mono PERC capacity to 1,077 MW.

MNRE has also extended the exemption from ALMM List-II requirements for domestically manufactured solar cells in net-metering and open-access solar projects until December 31, 2026.

Separately, the ministry expanded the ALMM framework in March 2026 to cover solar ingots and wafers under a proposed List-III, with compliance scheduled to become mandatory from June 1, 2028.

The continued expansion of ALMM-listed cell capacity indicates the growing scale of India’s domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem and the increasing availability of locally manufactured high-efficiency cell technologies.

Trinity Cleantech is developing a bioethanol-powered Gen Set with integrated EV charging, bringing two traditionally separate requirements power generation and EV charging into a single mobile platform. Currently under development, the technology is being designed for locations where grid access is limited, unreliable or unavailable.

At the heart of the proposed Gen Set is a bioethanol-fuelled power-generation system that converts liquid bioethanol into electricity on demand. By using bioethanol derived from agricultural residues and surplus feedstock, the platform could create a new use case for India’s growing ethanol ecosystem while offering an alternative to conventional diesel-based power generation.

The platform has a distinctive dual-purpose architecture. The Gen Set is being designed to provide electrical power while also supporting EV charging from the same mobile asset. This approach could be particularly relevant in environments where installing separate power and charging infrastructure is difficult or commercially challenging.

The proposed applications span construction sites, mining operations, industrial facilities, defence and field installations, disaster-response operations, logistics and other temporary or remote locations. Its mobile configuration is intended to allow the power source to move with changing operational requirements rather than remain tied to a fixed grid connection.

Speaking about the development, Raj Kumar Medimi, Director, ThunderPlus, said, “The way power is generated and consumed is changing, particularly in locations where the grid cannot always keep pace with operational needs. With this Gen Set, we are working on a platform that can provide power and EV charging through one mobile system, using bioethanol as the energy source. Our focus is to make the technology practical for sectors where dependable power, mobility and flexibility are equally important.”

The Generator + EV Charger platform forms part of Trinity Cleantech’s technology roadmap and is envisaged as a mobile asset capable of supplying both general industrial or critical electrical power and EV charging. The company has identified disaster response, defence field power and construction sites among its potential applications.

To support wider adoption, Trinity Cleantech is also considering a lease-based model for the Gen Set. This could enable organisations to deploy the technology without taking on the full upfront capital cost, with the equipment, maintenance and monitoring potentially managed under an operating model.

The Gen Set is currently in the development stage, with Trinity Cleantech working towards commercialisation as part of its broader clean-energy technology portfolio. The company’s manufacturing and technology base at Jadcherla Green Industrial Park, Telangana, is central to its product development activities.

With this development, Trinity Cleantech is exploring a new category of mobile, bioethanol-powered energy infrastructure, one that can deliver power where the grid cannot easily reach while supporting the transition towards electric mobility.
