MNRE extends net-metering ALMM exemption to December
Economic Times··19 Jul
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy extended the ALMM List-II exemption for net-metering and open-access renewable energy projects until December 31, 2026. The previous deadline was May 31. The relief is not a blanket extension for all solar projects. Officials said the move also helps domestic module makers manage inventory while targeted categories continue.
