Jakson to Establish India’s First Hi-Tech PV Solar Recycling Facility
The solar recycling facility by Jakson will be capable to recycle ~5,00,000 solar panels, i.e., ~13,500 tonnes of modules annually, recovering critical materials and enabling responsible end-of-life solar management.

The advanced facility will be capable of recycling approximately 300 MW of solar panels per year, equivalent to over 5,00,000 PV modules annually. Designed with a processing speed of 60 panels per hour, the plant will handle close to 1.62 tonnes of material per hour and more than 13,500 tonnes of PV waste every year. This high-capacity system will support the scientific, safe and environmentally sound handling of end-of-life solar panels, a challenge that is expected to grow significantly as India accelerates renewable-energy adoption.
“This investment marks an important step in India’s clean-energy transition. By recovering valuable materials such as aluminium, glass, silicon, copper and silver, we will be reducing the industry’s dependence on virgin raw materials and ensuring that solar power becomes truly circular and resource-efficient. This initiative aligns strongly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a circular economy and reinforces our responsibility towards sustainable growth,” said Gagan Deep Chanana, Joint MD and CEO, Jakson Engineers and Managing Director, Ecoprogetti SRL.
With this initiative, Jakson strengthens its position at the forefront of India’s evolving energy landscape, creating a model for responsible solar-lifecycle management. The company recently laid the foundation stone for phase I of its 6 GW Integrated Solar Ingot, Wafer, Cell, and module manufacturing facility in Madhya Pradesh, backed by an investment of over INR 8,000 crore. These backward-integration efforts, combined with the PV module recycling facility, highlight Jakson’s growing commitment to building a fully circular, end-to-end renewable-energy ecosystem powered by world-class technology and long-term sustainability at its core.
Bharat Gupta, Board of Director, Jakson Engineers, added, “As India expands its solar footprint, the responsible management of end-of-life modules will be essential for the long-term sustainability and resilience of the sector. This facility will divert thousands of tonnes of waste from landfills each year while returning critical materials back into the manufacturing ecosystem. Through strategic investments like this, we are ensuring that solar energy remains clean, sustainable and future-ready throughout its lifecycle.”
