Army Solar Energy Private Limited, a Surat-based solar module manufacturer, has secured 622 MW enlistment under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
The development comes as MNRE added 11,035 MW of solar module manufacturing capacity to ALMM List-I in March 2026, taking India’s cumulative ALMM-listed solar module manufacturing capacity to 173,144 MW. The expansion reflects the government’s continued push to strengthen domestic solar manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports.
Army Solar Energy Private Limited is part of the Surat-based Army Looms and Textile Company, which has more than 36 years of experience in engineering and manufacturing. The company has recently diversified into the renewable energy sector with plans to establish large-scale solar manufacturing operations.
The company is currently developing a 3 GW AI-enabled TOPCon solar PV module manufacturing facility in Surat, Gujarat, with plans to further scale its production capacity by 2030. The facility will manufacture high-efficiency Mono-PERC modules as well as advanced N-type TOPCon glass-to-glass modules, catering to residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar installations.
Founded in September 2024 by Mahipat Radadiya and led by promoters including Praful Radadiya, the company aims to strengthen its position in India’s solar manufacturing ecosystem while building a robust distribution and channel partner network across the country.
The ALMM enlistment enables Army Solar Energy Private Limited to supply solar modules for government-backed solar projects, supporting India’s efforts to expand domestic manufacturing capacity and accelerate the country’s renewable energy transition.
