1.0 Introduction
The Approved List of Models & Manufacturers for Wind (ALMM-Wind) is a list of
type and quality certified wind turbine models that are eligible for installation in
the country. This list is issued to facilitate State Nodal Agencies (SNAs),
investors, lenders, and developers. The ALMM-Wind is based on type testing,
type certification and quality assurance of wind turbines, as per the Guidelines for
Development of Onshore Wind Power Projects issued by this Ministry on October
22, 2016 and Procedure to apply for inclusion of a Wind Turbine Model in the
Revised List of Models and Manufacturers of Wind Turbines (RLMM) dated 1st
November, 2018 along with subsequent amendments.
As per the amendment to 'Procedure for inclusion/ updating Wind Turbine Model
in the Revised List of Models and Manufacturers of Wind Turbines (RLMM)'
dated July 31, 2025, the RLMM is renamed as Approved List of Models and
Manufacturers (Wind) i.e. ALMM (Wind) and the Type Certificate of a wind
turbine model must mandatorily include the vendors and sources for blade,
tower, generator, gearbox, and special bearings (Main, Pitch, and Yaw Bearing).
Further, this amendment mandates data control and research centre within India
to address the cyber security issues. A separate list named Approved List of
Models & Manufacturers for Wind Turbine Components (ALMM-WTC), will be
issued for these components after a comprehensive inspection of the
manufacturing facilities of the component suppliers. This inspection will verify the
manufacturing Infrastructure, Capacities, capabilities and quality assurance
processes to ensure they meet the standards required for inclusion in the ALMM-
WTC list.
2.0 Scope
This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) governs the process for all entities
applying for enlistment in either the ALMM-Wind or ALMM-WTC.
The Type Certificate of a wind turbine model, issued by an accredited Type
Certification Body (CB), serves as the foundational scientific and technical
1documentation for a wind turbine's eligibility for enlistment in the ALMM-Wind.
This Type Certificate must explicitly include an approved and the associated list
of major components, including the blade, tower, generator, gearbox, and special
bearings (Main, Pitch, and Yaw Bearing).
Enlistment of components in the ALMM-WTC list is dependent upon inclusion in
an approved wind turbine Type Certificate & RLMM-Wind, submission of a valid,
independent component certificate and subsequent inspection by a designated
team. This ensures a direct and verifiable link between the component and its
certified performance within a specific wind turbine model.
3.0 Pre-Application Requirements by the Applicant

To facilitate all stakeholders, the MNRE will publish and regularly update the
approved list of components for all models listed in ALMM-Wind. The list will be
updated on MNRE website. The inspection team may also carry out surveillance
inspection post enlistment of the component in the ALMM-WTC.
5.0 Application Submission
The formal process for enlistment in the ALMM-WTC list is initiated by the applicant's
submission of an application to Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE).
MNRE may also develop a portal for such applications. This submission must be
completed in its entirety and include all required technical and administrative
documents as specified in the application checklist. A non-refundable application fee,
as detailed in the Section 10.0, is also required at the time of submission. The
successful submission and payment mark the official commencement of the review
process.
6.0 Document Scrutiny
The ALMM-WTC Committee, a dedicated body appointed by the MNRE, will conduct
a comprehensive review of all submitted application and documents to verify their
completeness and compliance with the specified requirements. This scrutiny serves
as the basis for a preliminary decision on the application.
During this stage, the committee will perform the following actions:
1. Verification of Prerequisites: The committee will first verify that a valid Type
Certificate for the wind turbine model, issued by an accredited Type
Certification Body (CB), has been submitted. This Type Certificate is a
mandatory prerequisite for any component to be considered for listing.
2. Compliance Check: A detailed technical and administrative check will be
performed to ensure all documents, including the Type Certificate, ISO
6certifications, and other technical data, are complete and align with the
technical specifications and standards outlined in this SOP.
3. Preliminary Decision: Based on the outcome of the document scrutiny, the
ALMM-WTC Committee will make a preliminary decision. If all documents are
complete and compliant, the committee will recommend for a physical
inspection of the manufacturing facility. An inspection team will be formally
constituted to conduct the on-site verification.
The application will then proceed to the next stage of the process as per the
committee's decision.
7.0 Types of ALMM-Wind Applications: New Enlistment and Variants
The ALMM framework distinguishes between a "New Model" and a "Variant" to
ensure the list reflects substantive technological differences and to prevent the
unnecessary proliferation of entries based on minor design modifications.
7.1 New Enlistment: Definition of a New Wind Turbine Model
A New Wind Turbine Model is defined as a specific turbine design that requires its
own distinct enlistment in the ALMM-Wind list. A single wind turbine model may,
however, be certified under the same Type Certificate (TC) even with alternate
components and configurations. These permissible variations include changes to
hub height, wind class, tower type, power converter type, output voltage, cut-in and
cut-out wind speeds, survival wind speed, ambient temperature range, power de-
rating, noise emission levels, and grid compliance settings.
Notwithstanding these acceptable variations, a wind turbine model shall not be
considered for registration as a new model in the ALMM-Wind list if it meets the
following criteria:
• Rotor Diameter and Rated Power: It exhibits a rotor diameter variation of
less than 2% and/ or a rated power variation of less than 10% when
compared to an already-listed wind turbine model under the same
manufacturer or designer, within a similar range of rotor diameter and rated
power.
7However, a wind turbine model may be considered for registration as a new model if
it incorporates a distinctly different design architecture. This includes, but is not
limited to, a significant change in:
• Aerodynamic Design: A significant change in the blade's aerodynamic
profile, material composition, or structural design that substantially alters the
power curve, noise emissions, or certified load conditions.
• Generator Technology: e.g., Direct-Drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous
Generator (PMSG) versus Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG).
• Control Strategy: e.g., Pitch-controlled versus Stall-controlled systems.
• Drive Train Configuration: e.g., Geared versus Direct-Drive systems.
• Design Lifetime on account of design change in the components: e.g., a
change from a 20-year to a 25-year design lifetime.
This determination must be supported by complete and independent design
documentation as validated by an accredited Type Certification Body.
New Wind Turbine Model will be given exemption for meeting the requirements
related to sourcing of major components, including the blade, tower, generator,
gearbox, and special bearings (Main, Pitch, and Yaw Bearing) from the ALMM
(WTC) list, limited to 800 MW within a maximum period of two years from the date of
enlistment in ALMM (Wind) list. Further, the models of major wind turbine
components, including the blade, tower, generator, gearbox, and special bearings
(Main, Pitch, and Yaw Bearing) already given exemption for a particular new wind
turbine model will not be considered for re-exemption in a separate new wind turbine
model enlisted/to be enlisted by the same manufacturer.
7.2 Variants (Updation of Existing Wind Turbine Models)
A Variant is defined as any modification to an existing, enlisted wind turbine model
that does not meet the stringent criteria for a "New Model" as defined in Section 7.1.
8Notwithstanding the issuance of a new Type Certificate for a minor change, any
modification that falls below the following thresholds will be mandatorily classified as
an updation of an existing model:
• Rated Power and Rotor Diameter: A rated power variation of less than 10%
and/ or a rotor diameter variation of less than 2% when compared to an
already-listed wind turbine model under the same manufacturer, within a
similar range of rotor diameter and rated power.
Changes that fall under the "permissible variations" within the same Type Certificate
(e.g., hub height, wind class, etc.) will also be treated as an updation to the existing
model entry. The committee reserves the right to re-classify an application as a
variant if it determines that the changes are not substantive enough to qualify as a
new model based on the technical criteria in Section 7.1, regardless of the new Type
Certificate.
8.0 Types of applications for ALMM (Wind)
8.1 Application for New Enlistment of Wind Turbine Model and Manufacturer
When a new wind turbine manufacturer applies for enlistment in ALMM-Wind,
the Type Certificate (TC) issued by an accredited Type Certification Body (CB)
serves as the primary basis for the new enlistment with an approved list of
associated components. The wind turbine model will be recommended for listing in
ALMM-Wind only after a successful review of the documents attached as Annexure
1 by the ALMM-Wind Committee.
The committee's deliberation will focus on a comprehensive technical and qualitative
review of the proposed wind turbine model, based on the documents submitted by
the applicant. This deliberation is structured around three key areas:
• Technology & Design Architecture: The committee will examine critical
aspects of the technology type, including the generator type, drive train
configuration, control systems, tower type, wind turbine class, and other
relevant technical parameters.
• Innovation & Documentation: The committee will evaluate any innovative
features, consider references to intellectual property or patent filings, and
9scrutinize any deviations from the type-certified design to ensure they are
clearly explained and supported by the application.
• Manufacturing & Quality Assurance: The committee will verify the ISO
certifications for the manufacturing and assembly facilities of all major
components including the hub, nacelle, blade, tower, generator, gearbox, and
special bearings (main, pitch, and yaw bearings) as documented in the Type
Certificate and supported by the relevant ISO certificates submitted by the
applicant.
• Performance Efficiency and Safety Issues: The committee will deliberate
on the turbine’s performance, ensuring the power curve has been tested and
certified by an accredited laboratory in accordance with IEC 61400-12-1 and
that all supporting performance data aligns with regulatory expectations
including performance in representative geographical conditions. Mandatory
prototype testing within India.
The new turbine model may be considered for enlistment based on the committee’s
recommendations and a successful review of the inspection report submitted by
Technical Team, where an inspection is required.
8.2 Application for Enlistment of a New Wind Turbine Model by a Manufacturer
Already on the ALMM-Wind List
When a wind turbine manufacturer already having models enlisted in ALMM-Wind
applies for the enlistment of a new wind turbine model, the committee will deliberate
on the application based on the criteria for "New Enlistment" as stated in Section 8.1.
In addition, the ALMM-Wind Committee shall specifically evaluate the application to
distinguish between a new wind turbine model and a variant, with reference to the
definitions provided in Section 7.1 and 7.2 of this SOP. The committee will ensure
that the proposed model adheres to the following principles:
• Distinguishing a New Model from a Variant: The committee will verify that
the proposed model is not a minor configuration change. As per Section 7.1, a
new model will not be registered if it exhibits a rotor diameter variation of less
than 2% and/ or a rated power variation of less than 10% when compared to
10an already-listed wind turbine model from the same manufacturer, within a
similar range of rotor diameter and rated power.
• Review of Design Architecture: The committee will assess if the model
incorporates a distinctly different design architecture, such as a change in
generator technology (e.g., DFIG vs. PMSG), control strategy (e.g., pitch vs.
stall), drive train configuration, or design lifetime (e.g., 20 to 25 years). This
determination must be supported by complete and independent design
documentation.
The committee will also review the "permissible variations" (e.g., changes to hub
height, wind class, tower type, etc.) as outlined in the Type Certificate to ensure they
are appropriately classified as a variant and do not meet the criteria for a new model.
8.3 Application for Updation of a Wind Turbine Model
When a manufacturer already enlisted in ALMM-Wind applies for an updation, the
revised Type Certificate (TC) for the wind turbine model, issued by an accredited
Type Certification Body (CB), serves as the basis for the application. The ALMM-
Wind Committee will deliberate on the application, referring to the definitions for a
"New Model" and "Variant" as outlined in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 to ensure the
modification is appropriately classified.
The committee's deliberation will specifically focus on a comparative review of the
revised Type Certificate against the previously submitted documentation. The key
aspects to be reviewed include:
• Certification and Accreditation: Any change in the Type Certification Body
and its accreditation status.
• Component Changes: Any changes to major components or their
vendors/sources, including blades, towers, generators, gearboxes, and
special bearings (main, pitch, and yaw bearings).
• Manufacturing Facility Status: The status of the manufacturing and
assembly facilities for the hub, nacelle, and all major components as reflected
in the revised Type Certificate documentation.
11• Performance Changes: Any changes made to the certified power curve
documentation or other performance parameters that were previously
submitted.
Based on this review, the committee will determine if the updation is compliant and
whether it meets the criteria as defined in Section 7.1/ 7.2 of this SOP.
8.4 Application for updation of revised documents including ISO certificate
(Other than type certificate documents)
This process applies when a manufacturer already enlisted in ALMM-Wind submits
revised documentation other than a Type Certificate (TC). This typically includes
updated ISO certificates or other administrative and technical documents.
The ALMM-Wind Committee will deliberate on the application with the following key
objectives:
• Comparative Review: A detailed review of the revised documentation will be
conducted and compared with the documents previously submitted to the
committee.
• ISO Certificate Verification: In the case of a revised ISO certificate, the
committee will verify its impact on the status of the manufacturing and
assembly facilities for all major components, including the hub, nacelle,
blades, towers, generators, gearboxes, and special bearings (main, pitch, and
yaw bearings), against the details in the original Type Certificate
documentation.
• Accreditation Status: The committee will deliberate on any changes to the
ISO certification body, including its accreditation status, to ensure continued
compliance with established standards.
The committee's final decision will be based on a verification that the updated
documents do not introduce any non-conformities and that the manufacturer
continues to meet all quality and procedural requirements.
129.0 Types of Applications for ALMM-WTC
a. New Enlistment of a Component:
This category applies when a new manufacturer applies for enlistment of a
component in the ALMM-WTC list. The Type Certificate of a wind turbine model,
issued by an accredited Type Certification Body (CB), serves as the basis for the
application. The associated components listed in the TC are reviewed for potential
enlistment in ALMM-WTC. The recommendation is subject to a successful review of
the documents (as per Annexure 2) by the ALMM-WTC Committee and successful
review of the inspection report submitted by the technical team.
b. Updation of a Component:
This applies when a manufacturer already enlisted in ALMM-WTC seeks to update a
component. The revised Type Certificate of a wind turbine model issued by an
accredited CB is the basis for the updation. The associated components mentioned
in the revised TC will be recommended for listing in ALMM-WTC subject to a
successful review of the documents (as per Annexure 2) by the ALMM-WTC
Committee and successful review of the inspection report submitted by the technical
team.
9.1 Verification of Documents and Non-Conformities
The ALMM-WTC Committee will conduct a thorough review of all submitted
documents. Any non-conformities identified during this review will be formally
communicated to the manufacturer and the technical team. The manufacturer and
technical team is responsible for closing all non-conformities and submitting a
closure report. The final closure report will be submitted to the committee for a final
review and recommendation for listing.
10.0 ALMM-WTC Inspection of a Manufacturing/Assembly Facility
The inspection of a manufacturing or assembly facility is conducted by a technical
team in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17020 and other relevant
national and international standards. This inspection is a critical regulatory step to
verify that the facility is capable of consistently producing components to certified
13standards. The fee for the inspection of a single wind turbine component type is ₹1.5
lakhs plus taxes, excluding travel and logistics expenses.
The inspection requirements for the manufacturing and assembly facilities of major
wind turbine components, including hub and nacelle assembly, blades, towers,
generators, gearboxes, and special bearings (main, pitch, and yaw bearings), are as
follows:
• General Facility Details: The inspection will confirm the facility's legal and
operational status, including its address, valid factory license, ownership,
monthly production capacity, number of shifts, manpower strength &

• Intellectual Property Rights and Licence to Usage
All inspection findings will be substantiated with photographic evidence to support
the assessments and enable consistent documentation across all applicant facilities.
11.0 Report Submission and Review
After the inspection of the manufacturing or assembly facility, the technical team
submits a comprehensive inspection report in the prescribed format to the ALMM-
WTC Committee, in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17020.
The ALMM-WTC Committee will conduct a thorough review of the reports (Format
for Inspection report placed at Annexure-3) submitted by both the manufacturer and
the technical team. Based on this review, the committee will make a
recommendation for the enlistment of the applied wind turbine component type to the
MNRE for further approval.
In cases where any non-conformities are observed, the committee may recommend
seeking further clarification from the manufacturer or the technical team for
corrective action. This may include:
• An online re-inspection.
• A physical re-inspection.
• A review of revised documents.
15If the review of the corrective actions submitted in the closure report does not
demonstrate compliance with the requirements, the ALMM-WTC Committee
reserves the right to recommend the rejection of the application.
