Solex Energy Secures ALMM Approval for 3.78 GW Solar Module Facility in Surat

Solex Energy announced that its 3.78 gigawatt (GW) solar module manufacturing facility in Surat, Gujarat, has received approval under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework.

Official Entry in the ALMM List

With the latest approval, Solex Energy’s Surat-based facility has officially been included in the ALMM list as an authorised solar PV module manufacturing capacity. The certification enables the company to supply its modules to projects that require ALMM-compliant equipment, particularly government-backed solar installations across India.

Chetan Shah, Chairman and Managing Director of Solex Energy, said, “The approval reinforces our commitment to strengthening India’s domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem while accelerating the transition towards clean and sustainable energy.”

The ALMM mechanism, introduced by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, aims to ensure the quality and reliability of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and cells used in the country’s renewable energy projects. 

Toward 15 GW Manufacturing Capacity

Looking ahead, the Gujarat-based company is planning a significant expansion of its manufacturing footprint. Solex Energy aims to scale up its solar module manufacturing capacity to 15 GW, a move expected to require an investment of around INR 8,000 crore.

The expansion aligns with India’s broader strategy to reduce reliance on imported solar equipment and build a robust local supply chain to support the country’s rapidly growing renewable energy sector.
