Jakson Engineers Limited, part of the Jakson Group energy and infrastructure solutions conglomerate, has announced an investment of over INR 8,000 crore to establish a 6 GW Integrated Solar Module, Cell & Wafer plant at Maksi Phase II, Madhya Pradesh. This represents the most significant solar manufacturing investment in the state announced so far.

Project Development and Timeline

The mega project will be developed in two phases across a 110-acre site that was recently allocated to the company. Site activities are set to commence within 15 days of the announcement. Phase I will commission manufacturing capacity of 3 GW of solar modules and 3 GW of solar cells with an investment of around INR 2,000 crore.

Phase II will include the establishment of a 6 GW solar wafers plant along with an additional 3 GW modules and cells each, requiring an investment of over INR 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.

Sundeep Gupta, Vice Chairman of Jakson Group, described the announcement as “a momentous occasion for our company and a major leap forward for India's renewable energy sector.” He stated that the investment in Maksi demonstrates the company's “unwavering commitment to 'Make in India' and directly supports the nation's ambitious clean energy targets.”

Gupta expressed confidence that with the support of the Madhya Pradesh government, the plant will become “a beacon of technological excellence and a catalyst for creating green jobs.” Gagan Chanana, Joint Managing Director & CEO of Jakson Solar Modules and Cells, emphasized the strategic importance of the facility.
