Cancel all rushed solar tenders: Govt to RE firms
Business Standard
|October 04, 2025

Certain government agencies in the renewable energy sector in August issued bids with procurement timelines as short as seven days, said the ministry in an advisory. “This seems to have been issued clearly to circumvent the MNRE mandate of Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for cells.”
