Through a recent amendment, the RLMM has been renamed as Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (Wind) i.e., ALMM (Wind). MNRE had earlier issued ‘Procedure to apply for inclusion of a Wind Turbine Model in the Revised List of Models and Manufacturers of Wind Turbines (RLMM)’ vide OM of even number dated 01.11.2018.
The RLMM was a mechanism to ensure quality and reliability of Wind Turbines (WTs) installed in the country, for protecting the consumer interests, while ensuring larger energy security of the country. The mechanism was one of the enablers towards promoting domestic wind turbine manufacturing industry in the country, which currently crossed the 20 GW annual manufacturing capacity.
This is now mandatory for use of major wind turbine components such as Blade, Tower, Gearbox, Generator and Special Bearings (Main, Pitch and Yaw Bearing) from the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (Wind Turbine Components) i.e., ALMM (Wind Turbine Components) in the manufacturing of listed wind turbines.
