Govt reduces application fee by 80% for solar equipment manufactures

Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) has taken major reforms in the ‘Approved List of Models and Manufactures for Solar Photovoltaic Modules’ (ALMM) including a sharp 80 per cent reduction in application fee as well as doubling enlisting validity.

The MNRE has come up with a number of reforms in its ALMM mechanism for Solar Photovoltaic Modules, a ministry statement said.

The reforms are primarily aimed at reducing the cost to solar PV manufacturers, time between application to enlistment as well as compliance burden and increasing ease of doing business in the whole ALMM process.
