ENSOL Engineering TeamPublished 2026-02-201 min read

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is India's nodal ministry for renewable energy. It frames policy, runs schemes and maintains mechanisms such as the ALMM that shape how solar projects are built.

What MNRE does

MNRE sets national renewable energy policy, administers schemes (including solar programmes), and coordinates with state nodal agencies and utilities to deliver capacity.

Where structures fit

Solar mounting structures are procured within MNRE-supported projects alongside ALMM-listed modules. ENSOL manufactures the structures to the applicable standards.

Frequently asked questions

Does MNRE approve mounting structures?
MNRE maintains module lists (ALMM); structures are procured to project specifications and Indian standards rather than an MNRE structure list.
