The Indian government has officially extended the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework to include solar ingots and wafers, effective June 1, 2028. This regulatory expansion aims to force vertical integration within the domestic solar supply chain and eliminate upstream import dependencies.
The Indian government has announced a landmark mandate requiring all clean energy projects to use locally manufactured solar ingots and wafers starting June 2028. This regulatory shift aims to eliminate supply chain vulnerabilities and solidify India's position as a vertically integrated solar manufacturing powerhouse.
The Indian government has officially notified regulatory standards for Green Ammonia and Green Methanol, marking a critical milestone in its National Green Hydrogen Mission. These standards establish clear carbon intensity benchmarks, aimed at streamlining domestic production and positioning India as a global export hub for low-carbon fuels.
A high-level summit in New Delhi has brought together international policymakers and technical experts to establish rigorous safety frameworks for the green hydrogen sector. The initiative aims to harmonize global standards, ensuring that the rapid scaling of hydrogen infrastructure does not compromise public safety or operational reliability.
