Waaree Energies, India’s largest solar PV module manufacturer, has received ALMM List-II approval from the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) for its high-efficiency solar PV cells, marking a key milestone in India’s domestic solar manufacturing.

The approval covers Waaree’s advanced Degam facility in Gujarat, with a total annual capacity of 5.25 GW, including 3,923 MW of N-type TOPCon cells and 1,328 MW of P-type PERC bifacial cells. This listing reinforces Waaree’s leadership in next-generation solar cell technologies and strengthens its position as a fully integrated cell-to-module supplier, offering developers, EPCs, and institutional buyers greater assurance on domestic sourcing, supply-chain security, and long-term project reliability.

Building on its existing ALMM List-I presence for solar modules, Waaree plans to use this recognition to expand partnerships with domestic and global developers, accelerate exports, and support resilient, high-performance solar value chains aligned with India’s energy security and net-zero goals. Commenting on the development, Sunil Rathi, Executive Director, Waaree, said: ““ALMM List-II inclusion for our solar cells is a critical step in strengthening domestic backward integration across India’s solar value chain. While Waaree is already the largest in scale, this milestone reinforces our position at the forefront of solar cell technology as well."
