Jakson Group has started building a huge ₹8,000-crore solar manufacturing plant in Madhya Pradesh, making it one of the biggest clean-energy projects in the state. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav laid the foundation stone for the first phase of the facility in Maksi on Sunday, officially kickstarting the project.
In the first phase, Jakson Group will invest ₹2,000 crore to set up 3 GW of solar cell and 4 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity. This phase alone is expected to generate 1,700 new job opportunities, giving a strong employment push to the region.
The company’s broader plan over the next three years includes establishing a fully integrated ecosystem with 6 GW ingot, 6 GW wafer, 6 GW cell, and 6 GW solar module manufacturing capabilities. Once the entire project becomes operational, it is expected to create more than 4,000 jobs and significantly strengthen India’s domestic solar manufacturing landscape.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said the solar manufacturing hub at Maksi will play a key role in creating skilled jobs for the youth and positioning Madhya Pradesh as an emerging centre for manufacturing and logistics in India’s clean energy transition.
He added that the project highlights the state’s focus on growth, talent, and robust infrastructure, while also supporting the country’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Jakson Group Chairman Sameer Gupta said the integrated facility will boost technological self-reliance from the heart of India and enhance the nation’s clean energy manufacturing capabilities.
