The very first movement, funded with ₹2,000 crore, is going to initiate 3 GW of solar cell production and 4 GW of module manufacturing capacity and will hire local youth for 1,700 skilled jobs. The entire plant will, in fact, include the next three years of each stage of the solar value chain ingot, wafer, cell, and module with a capacity of 6 GW and a further 4,000 jobs to be generated.

Chief Minister Yadav described the investment as the main driver of local economic change, "The solar manufacturing hub at Maksi will provide skilled jobs for our youth and make our state the manufacturing and logistics centre of the clean energy transition in India." He was pointing out the energizing effect of Madhya Pradesh's policy on the investors who bring in green energy sustainable projects in line with national environmental objectives.

Supporting this idea, Jakson Group Chairman Sameer Gupta added " The integrated solar manufacturing facility would be a key driver of technological self-reliance from India central and would make India's clean energy manufacturing capabilities stronger." Before the big announcement, Jakson Group has already been a leader in the renewables sector and this move will contribute towards India's target of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 securing domestic supply chains and promoting environmentally friendly manufacturing practices in response to global demand for affordable solar ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌solutions.
