Jakson Group commenced phase one of its six GW integrated solar manufacturing facility in Madhya Pradesh, marking a major step toward expanding India’s renewable energy manufacturing capacity. The foundation stone was laid at the Maksi Phase II site in Ujjain district. Spanning 113.5 acres, the project supports India’s mission to build a strong, self-reliant solar manufacturing ecosystem.
Strengthening Madhya Pradesh as a Clean Energy Hub
The launch reinforces Madhya Pradesh’s growing role as a clean energy manufacturing hub. The presence of state leadership and Jakson’s top management highlights the strategic importance of this facility in advancing India’s renewable manufacturing capabilities and strengthening the broader supply chain.
₹8,000 Crore Investment to Boost Domestic Manufacturing
The project will use an investment of over ₹8,000 crore to create significant employment opportunities, promote local sourcing, and enhance logistics efficiency for manufacturers.
*3 GW solar cell manufacturing capacity
*4 GW solar module manufacturing capacity
Future phases will introduce backward integration into ingot and wafer production, helping develop a complete solar manufacturing ecosystem in the state.
Advancing India’s Renewable Energy Targets
The mega project aligns with India’s national goals of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 and reaching Net Zero by 2070. The facility increases domestic value addition and reduces reliance on imported components. It supports long-term energy security and strengthens India’s renewable energy supply chain.
Expanding Jakson’s Presence in Madhya Pradesh
Jakson already operates a 150 KLPD grain-based ethanol plant in Balaghat. The new solar facility further expands the company’s presence in the state and reinforces its commitment to driving sustainable industrial growth. The vertically integrated approach will enhance cost efficiency and improve resilience against global supply chain disruptions.
Creating Growth Opportunities for Allied Industries
As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, the project is expected to generate opportunities for component suppliers and machinery manufacturers. It will also benefit logistics operators and regional MSMEs. As additional phases come online, the facility will play a crucial role in shaping Madhya Pradesh’s clean energy manufacturing landscape. It will also contribute to India’s broader sustainability and decarbonization goals.
