Jakson Engineers Limited to Invest ₹8,000+ Crore in 6 GW Integrated Solar Manufacturing Plant in Madhya Pradesh

New Delhi, 26 August, 2025: Jakson Engineers Limited, part of the leading energy and infrastructure solutions conglomerate Jakson Group, is investing over ₹8,000 crore to establish a 6 GW Integrated Solar Module, Cell & Wafer plant at Maksi Phase II, Madhya Pradesh. This is the largest solar manufacturing investment in the state, marking a significant milestone for both the company and India’s renewable energy sector.

The mega project will be developed in two phases across a 110-acre site, allocated to the company recently. Commencing site activities within 15 days, the company will commission manufacturing capacity of 3 GW of solar modules and 3 GW of solar cells in Phase I, with an investment of around Rs 2,000 Crore. Phase II will include establishment of 6 GW solar wafers plant along with additional 3 GW modules and cells each, at an investment of over Rs 6,000 crore. The first modules from the plant are expected to roll out by May 2026 followed by Cells in September 2026 supporting India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

“This is a momentous occasion for our company and a major leap forward for India's renewable energy sector,” said Mr. Sundeep Gupta, Vice Chairman of Jakson Group. “Our investment in Maksi is testament to our unwavering commitment to 'Make in India' and directly supports the nation's ambitious clean energy targets. We are confident that with the support of the Madhya Pradesh government, this plant will become a beacon of technological excellence and a catalyst for creating green jobs.”

Mr. Gagan Chanana, Joint Managing Director & CEO of Jakson Solar Modules and Cells, emphasized the strategic importance of the plant, stating, “The global demand for solar energy is soaring. Our fully integrated facility and unique 'four-in-one' business model as a manufacturer, developer, EPC, and O&M provider, aims to contribute to meeting India's energy needs and help position the country as a global solar leader. This allows us to ensure quality, cut costs, and rapidly deploy new technology, boosting our energy security and self-reliance.”

Madhya Pradesh was selected for this landmark project due to its strategic central location, robust infrastructure, investor-friendly ecosystem, and progressive renewable energy policies. The plant will create a positive socio-economic impact in the region by generating over 1,000 jobs during the construction phase and employing around 1,400 people once operational.

Aligned with Hon’ble Prime Minister’s goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, this initiative will play a pivotal role in reducing import dependence, strengthening India’s domestic solar ecosystem, and accelerating the country’s transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon future.

This initiative is a key component of Jakson’s long-term growth strategy and underscores its commitment to sustainable development, technological innovation, and India’s clean energy future.
