Jakson Starts 6-GW Solar Plant in Madhya Pradesh
India’s Jakson Group has broken ground on a 6-GW integrated solar manufacturing complex in Maksi, Madhya Pradesh, with an investment of INR 80 billion (USD 902.6 million). Spanning 113.5 acres, the site will be the state’s largest integrated solar facility and aims to establish India’s first fully integrated wafer, cell and module ecosystem.Phase One will install 4 GW of module and 3 GW of cell capacity, with backward integration into ingots and wafers. Phase Two will add a 6-GW wafer plant and complete remaining cell and module capacities. Module production is targeted for May 2026, with cell manufacturing slated for September 2026.
What technologies and supply-chain localization will Jakson deploy across ingot-to-module lines?
Ingoting: Monocrystalline Czochralski (n-type grade), large-diameter pullers (M10/G12), high-purity quartz crucibles and graphite components localized via Indian refractories/quartzware suppliers; local sourcing of process gases and utilities (argon, nitrogen).Wafering: Diamond-wire cutting with kerf-loss recovery, slurry-free sawing, inline texturing for mono; localization of wire, consumables, and CMP/clean chemistries (HF, HCl, NaOH) through Indian chemical makers; domestic recovery/recycling of silicon fines and wastewater.
Cell tech: N-type TOPCon as the workhorse (oxide/poly-Si passivation via LPCVD/PECVD), SMBB-ready metallization; pilot HJT line optionality with PVD sputtering and low-temp curing to future-proof efficiency roadmap; localization of diffusion tubes, PECVD/LPCVD spares, screen-printing pastes (with Indian-foreign JV for silver/copper), and process gases.
Metallization and plating: Shift toward reduced-silver, copper-ready architectures (nickel/copper plating), laser contact opening; domestic supply of ribbons, tabbing wire, and conductive adhesives.
Module assembly: High-power bifacial glass-glass, half-cut, high-density/SMBB interconnection; M10/G12 formats with 72/78-cell layouts; encapsulants (EVA/POE co-laminates), backsheets, junction boxes, and connectors sourced from Indian manufacturers; frames from local aluminum extruders; solar glass from domestic float/solar glass producers.
Automation and QA: High-throughput stringers, bussing and lamination with inline EL/PL/IV, UV/humidity stress testing; localization of conveyors, testers, and factory software via Indian automation partners.
Materials ecosystem: Domestic tie-ups for chemicals (acids/solvents), specialty gases, solder alloys, sealants, packaging, and pallets; on-site recycling of glass, frames, and electrical scrap to build circularity.
Power and utilities: On-site captive renewables and heat-recovery systems; local EPCs for water treatment, ultrapure water, and effluent recycling to cut import dependence on utility skids.
Logistics and compliance: Sourcing aligned with India’s PLI/ALMM value-add thresholds; rail-linked inward logistics for raw materials and outward for finished modules to deepen supply-chain localization.

Titagarh Wagons Ties up With Fourth Partner Energy for 4.8 MW Solar Power
India's largest private-sector supplier of traveler as well as freight trains Titagarh Wagons Limited, has actually introduced the finalizing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Fourth Partner Energy to procure 4.8 MW of solar energy for its wagon as well as steel shops at Titagarh and also its guest trainer and also propulsion system at Uttarpara, West Bengal-- to properly change virtually 25 percent of its current annual power demand with clean power. All three power plants are expected to be commissioned by January 2021.
Prithish Chowdhary, Vice President at Titagarh stated, "decreasing Carbon discharges and also changing to green energy is no more an alternative but a worldwide necessary. At Titagarh, we want to do our part to ensure our manufacturing centers end up being much more environment pleasant. We are delighted to on-board Fourth Partner Energy to solarise our Heavy Engineering division, Titagarh Wagons and Titagarh Steel centers throughout West Bengal.
" Titagarh has understood cutting-edge efforts in its procedures as well as the PPA carried out with Fourth Partner is one more step in the direction of constructing a lasting tidy energy solution. Our team believe their high quality and implementation competence make them an ideal companion for us in this effort. Apart from a considerable reduction in our Carbon footprint, solar power is additionally much cheaper than grid electricity and also is an useful commercial proposition for production companies that are energy-intensive. We anticipate to see substantial financial savings on our annual power expenses with using solar energy. After effective execution of this project, we likewise intend to examine including more solar capability to these devices as well as others, to increase the percentage of tidy energy made use of in our plants."
Karan Chadha, Head, Business Development at Fourth Partner Energy, claimed that corporate India plays an essential role in power change as well as it is encouraging to see firms like Titagarh lead the adjustment. These 3 installments will make use of around 50,000 sq.mtr. of otherwise thrown away rooftop area to drive financial savings on every device of electricity for the company. Titagarh will also balance out nearly 1.3 lakh lots of carbon over the next 2 decades. "Our goal is to make it possible for services to achieve their low-carbon objectives in an economical fashion."
India is targeting 100 percent electrification of Railways in 3 years, which will result in a near increasing of electricity demand by the market. 4th Partner thinks solar will play an important duty in meeting this. "We have additionally partnered with Indian Railways to solarise Jabalpur, Varanasi, Gorakhpur terminals and also the Nagpur Metro Rail," added Karan.
4th Partner Energy is just one of India's leading solar power solutions platforms with 400 MW operational capability executed for marquee customers like UltraTech Cement, Walmart, Hindustan Unilever, Coca Cola, Akzo Nobel, Skoda as well as Schneider amongst others.
Titagarh's purchase of tidy electrical energy likewise drops in-line with the government's vision of a net-zero carbon exhaust Indian Railways by 2030. Railways Minister Piyush Goyal lately introduced solarising of 960 terminals and also the federal government's plan to obtain 33 billion devices of clean electrical power by 2030.
Mentioning this, Prithish included, "the market is making fantastic breakthroughs towards net-zero discharge, with the privatisation of the traveler section being at the leading edge of the federal government's initiatives. Titagarh is dedicated to fast-tracking these goals and furthering the 'Make-in-India' and also 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' efforts of the Government. Titagarh has also introduced light and energy-efficient aluminium-bodied city instructors for the very first time in India which are being made and also produced for Pune Metro."
