MNRE suspends PV module registration mandate amid policy review 

The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), India, has suspended the compulsory registration order for solar PV modules until further notice. The decision, approved by the Honorable Minister (Power & NRE), follows a previous directive and exempts government-sponsored projects. Private projects, except those under specific subsidies, are excluded. Ongoing projects with module orders before March 31, 2024, are exempted, pending verification. This move signals a strategic pause, likely for policy reassessment, in the regulation of solar energy.
