JAKSON ENGINEERS LIMITED TO INVEST ₹8,000+ CRORE
IN 6 GW INTEGRATED SOLAR MANUFACTURING
PLANT IN MADHYA PRADESH
Jakson Engineers Limited, part of
the leading energy and infrastruc-
ture 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 manufactur-
ing 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 commis-
sion 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 estab-
lishment 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 ambi-
tious 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 Manag-
ing 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 rapid-
ly deploy new technology, boosting
our energy security and self-reli-
ance.”
Madhya Pradesh was selected for
this landmark project due to its
strategic central location, robust
infrastructure,
investor-friendly
ecosystem, and progressive renew-
able energy policies. The plant will
create a positive socio-economic
impact in the region by generating
over 1,000 jobs during the construc-
tion phase and employing around
1,400 people once operational.
Aligned with Hon’ble Prime Minis-
ter’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 strate-
gy and underscores its commitment
to sustainable development, techno-
logical innovation, and India’s
clean energy future. I
