The company added that the project will help build a stronger solar manufacturing ecosystem in the state, supporting supply-chain and ancillary industry growth.
Jakson Group vice-chairman Sundeep Gupta said vertical integration is essential for India’s energy independence, offering cost efficiency, technological gains and protection from global supply risks. He noted that supportive state policies and the national renewable roadmap position Jakson to drive innovation and accelerate the country’s shift toward a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
Founded in 1947, Jakson Group has expanded from diesel generator manufacturing into a diversified energy solutions provider. The company operates six manufacturing facilities.
As of August 2025, Jakson Engineers has 1.2GW of total solar module manufacturing capacity. The New Delhi-headquartered company is also active in large-scale solar projects, including a 400MW PV project in India, expected to begin construction in 2026, and recently supplied 100MW of modules to GIPCL for its renewable energy park.
