In a major boost to India’s clean energy ambitions, Jakson Group has begun work on its massive ₹8,000-crore integrated solar manufacturing facility in Madhya Pradesh. The project, which aims to build an end-to-end solar production ecosystem, was officially flagged off on Sunday with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav laying the foundation stone for its first phase.
The upcoming facility in Maksi is planned to house 6 GW each of ingot, wafer, cell, and solar module manufacturing capacity over the next three years. Once fully operational, this integrated setup is expected to create nearly 4,000 new jobs, significantly strengthening the state’s position as a rising powerhouse in renewable energy manufacturing.
Phase 1 of the project alone involves an investment of ₹2,000 crore and focuses on establishing 3 GW of solar cell capacity along with 4 GW of module production lines. This initial phase is projected to generate around 1,700 employment opportunities, offering a substantial boost to local skill development and industrial growth.
Speaking at the foundation ceremony, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav highlighted the transformative potential of the project. He noted that the solar hub will not only create high-quality jobs for the state’s youth but also position Madhya Pradesh as a central player in India’s clean energy logistics and manufacturing network. He emphasised that initiatives like these reflect the state’s commitment to accelerated development, robust infrastructure, and the national vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Jakson Group Chairman Sameer Gupta echoed this sentiment, stating that the integrated solar facility will play a pivotal role in driving technological self-reliance and advancing India’s renewable energy capabilities from the heart of the country. The company aims to support India’s journey toward energy independence by building a strong domestic manufacturing foundation.
With construction now underway, the project marks a significant step forward in India’s transition toward sustainable energy and homegrown manufacturing strength.
