Jakson Engineers Limited, part of India's Jakson Group, has signed an agreement with Italian technology firm Ecoprogetti SRL to establish India's first high-tech photovoltaic (PV) module recycling facility. The plant will recycle approximately 300 megawatts of solar panels annually, equivalent to about 500,000 modules or 13,500 tonnes of material.

It will recover materials such as aluminium, glass, silicon, copper, and silver from discarded panels. This initiative aims to divert thousands of tonnes of solar waste from landfills and return valuable materials to the manufacturing supply chain as India addresses the challenge of end-of-life solar waste. Jakson is also expanding its solar manufacturing capabilities with a 6-gigawatt facility in Madhya Pradesh, backed by an investment exceeding 80 billion rupees ($960 million).
