About the DCR Verification Portal
Ensuring transparency in the solar PV supply chain
The DCR Verification Portal is developed by the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India. The portal ensures end-to-end traceability of domestically manufactured solar PV cells and modules, enabling verification of Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) compliance across all government-supported solar energy schemes.
- Cell-to-module traceability
- ALMM-linked compliance
- Publicly verifiable certificates
- State-wise deployment data
How it works
DCR Verification Process
A seamless 4-step process to ensure every solar PV module deployed in India meets Domestic Content Requirements.
-
1
Register
Cell Manufacturers, Module Manufacturers, Resellers & EPC companies register on the portal with PAN & company details.
-
2
Upload Data
Submit solar cell & module manufacturing data with unique serial numbers, specifications and invoice details.
-
3
Verify & Trace
NISE verifies the domestic manufacturing data, traces cell-to-module mapping and validates ALMM compliance.
-
4
DCR Certificate
DCR Certificate is issued for compliant modules, which can be verified by any stakeholder through the portal.

Contact info
What is DCR (Domestic Content Requirement)?
DCR stands for Domestic Content Requirement. It is a policy mandate by MNRE that requires solar PV modules used in certain government-supported projects and schemes to be manufactured using domestically produced solar cells and modules. This ensures the growth of India's domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem.
Who needs to register on this portal?
All Solar Cell Manufacturers, Solar Module Manufacturers, Resellers, EPC Companies, and RE Power Project Developers who are involved in the supply chain of DCR-compliant solar PV modules need to register. Government agencies and DISCOMs can also use the portal for verification purposes.
How can I verify a DCR Certificate?
You can verify a DCR Certificate by clicking on the "Verify DCR" link in the top navigation menu. Enter the certificate number or scan the QR code on the certificate to instantly verify its authenticity and view module details.
What is ALMM and how does it relate to DCR?
ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) is maintained by MNRE and lists all approved solar PV module models and their manufacturers. Only modules listed on ALMM are eligible for government-supported solar projects. The DCR portal helps verify that modules are both ALMM-listed and manufactured using domestically produced cells.
How do I raise a support ticket?
After logging into the portal, navigate to the Support section. Click on "Raise New Ticket" and fill in the details of your query or issue. You can also email support[at]
