To ease out procedures for projects floated by government agencies, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy has mandated the use of solar cells named in the Approved List of Models & Manufacturers (ALMM) only after one month of the publication of the list.The ALMM is a mechanism to ensure the reliability of a producer, for protecting consumer interests, while ensuring a larger energy security of the country. The government introduced the ALMM order (List I) in 2019 for solar modules to boost the manufacturing and usage of made-in-India solar panels.It was made mandatory to source PV modules from models and manufacturers included in the ALMM List I.Later with amendments to the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), the government included cells to the list as well.The ministry on Monday said that as a part of the amended procedure, the ALMM for solar PV cells will be mandatory only one month after the publication of ALMM list for solar PV cells, which is currently under process.However, the effective date for mandatory use of solar PV cells under ALMM list, for projects commissioned from June 1, 2026, onwards, will remain as notified earlier.Above measure is expected to give ample clarity to bidders in submitting their bids in tenders which are required to have provisions for bidders, to submit their bids, keeping in view the mandate for using both solar modules and cells from ALMM lists.This will expedite solar cell manufacturing and will help it to keep pace with the growing module manufacturing capacity in the country.The ministry noted that the ALMM mechanism has also ensured quick promotion of domestic solar manufacturing industry in the country, which currently stands at 91 GW of solar PV modules and 27 GW of solar PV cells, the MNRE said.This step will boost the domestic solar manufacturing projects in the country while adequately addressing the issues faced by the renewable power developers in complying with the ALMM for solar PV cells.

Round trip to nowhere: Markets break a sweat, but not new ground
Markets moved. Wealth didn't. One year later, it's deja vu for investors Samie Modak Mumbai Listen to This Article After a roller-coaster year, the markets have ended up where they began. The benchmark Nifty 50 closed July at 24,768 — 183 points, or 0.73 per cent, below its July 2024 close of 24,951. Over the past 12 months, the advance/decline ratio for BSE-listed companies has been evenly split — six months of gains, six of losses. This fine balance between advancing and declining stocks underscores the difficulty investors have faced in locking in consistent returns. As a result, for many who entered the market through direct stocks or mutual funds, the outcome has been underwhelming.

European shares log biggest daily drop since April after US tariffs hike
European stocks logged their biggest one-day drop in over three months on Friday, at the end of a busy week as investors grappled with the repercussions of fresh U.S. levies on dozens of countries, including a 39% tariff on Switzerland. Investors shunned riskier equities globally as Trump continued his tariff blitz, announcing steep levies on exports from dozens of trading partners including Canada, Brazil, India and Taiwan with countries not listed subject to a base 10% rate ahead of a Friday trade deal deadline.

Boots Hearingcare Book Now Undo Healthcare stocks lost 1% after U.S. President Donald Trump sent letters to the leaders of 17 major pharmaceutical companies, including Novo Nordisk and Sanofi, outlining how they should slash U.S. prescription drug prices. The sector was already singed this week by Novo Nordisk's profit warning. The Denmark-listed Wegovy-maker shed 1.8% and logged its steepest weekly decline on record. "We saw during the week that companies like Novo Nordisk had different issues. European pharma is very close to bottoming and that's why it didn't react to the uncertainty around tariffs and policy," Anthi Tsouvali, a multi-asset strategist at UBS Global Wealth Management said. Live Events "Europe is an export market... if we see heightened tariffs all over the world and trade being subdued, then that will have an impact on European companies regardless." The pan-European STOXX 600 index slid 1.9% and marked its biggest one-week drop since early April when Trump unveiled his tariffs on world economies. The euro STOXX volatility index jumped 4.25 points to its highest in over one-month. The STOXX index has lost over 5% from its March peak, after coming within 2% of that level earlier this week, dragged down by a record plunge in Novo Nordisk shares, and as investors assess the implications of the U.S.-EU trade deal. Markets in Switzerland were shut for a holiday, but UK-listed Watches of Switzerland declined 6.8%, while a U.S.-listed exchange traded fund tracking the country's equities slid to a more than three-month low and was last down 1.2%. Most regional bourses were in the red, with Germany's blue-chip DAX down 2.7%, while Denmark's OMXC fell 1.8% to a nearly two-year low. Banks, that had rallied earlier in the week, were down 3.4% and were the top sectoral underperformer as they notched their biggest one-day drop since early April. Adding to the dour mood, U.S. data showed job growth slowed sharply in July, which boosted bets for an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next month, while traders also priced in a dovish move by the European Central Bank later this year.
