India’s MNRE has decided not to grant a blanket extension to the June 1, 2026 deadline for ALMM List-II solar cells, but will consider exemptions or time extensions on a case-by-case basis. Under the policy, net-metering and open-access projects commissioned on or after June 1 must use modules from ALMM List-I and cells from ALMM List-II. Projects that have completed module installation or taken effective steps such as land possession, financial closure, connectivity approvals and module delivery may apply for relief through the NISE portal by June 30. SMM believes this reflects India’s attempt to balance policy stability for domestic manufacturing with protection of developers’ existing investments, though it may still raise project costs and tighten domestic cell supply in the near term.
