PVTIME – The Indian energy and infrastructure firm Jakson Group has begun construction of the first phase of its 6GW integrated solar manufacturing facility in Maxi Phase II, Ujjain District, Madhya Pradesh. At the ground-breaking ceremony held at the 113-acre site, the company confirmed an investment of over 80 billion Indian rupees (approximately 912 million US dollars), which will make it the largest solar manufacturing plant in Madhya Pradesh.
Phase one will include a 3GW solar cell production line and a 4GW module line, with future phases extending integration to ingot and wafer manufacturing. Jakson stated that the project will strengthen the state’s solar manufacturing ecosystem, driving growth in supply chains and supporting industries.
Sundeep Gupta, Vice Chairman of the Jakson Group, highlighted that vertical integration is vital for India’s energy independence, delivering cost efficiency, technological advantages, and protection against global supply risks. He added that supportive state policies and the national renewable energy roadmap have created favourable conditions for Jakson to drive innovation and accelerate the country’s shift towards a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
Founded in 1947, the Jakson Group has evolved from a diesel generator manufacturer into a diversified energy solutions provider, operating six manufacturing facilities. As of August 2025, Jakson Engineers will have a total solar module manufacturing capacity of 1.2GW. The New Delhi-based company is also involved in large-scale solar projects, including a 400MW PV scheme due to begin in 2026, as well as the recent supply of 100MW modules for GIPCL’s renewable energy park.
