JAKSON Engineers Limited has appointed solar industry veteran Ivan Saha as the company’s Managing Director, placing him in charge of its solar manufacturing expansion. The appointment was announced by JAKSON Solar.
Saha joins JAKSON Group with more than 31 years of experience spanning the semiconductor, solar, and sustainable energy sectors. According to the company’s announcement, his experience covers technical, operational, and business functions.
In his new role, Saha will focus on expanding JAKSON Engineers’ manufacturing footprint. He will also support the company’s large-scale backward integration plans across the solar value chain.
Before joining JAKSON Engineers, Saha held leadership positions at Reliance Infrastructure, Vikram Solar, and ReNew. In his last assignment, he was CEO, Renewables Manufacturing, at Reliance Infrastructure.
He is currently also the Co-Chair of the International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) Board and a member of the World Solar Congress Advisory Board.
His appointment comes as JAKSON Group works to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities and advance its backward integration plans.
The solar manufacturing arm of JAKSON operates 1.2 GW module manufacturing capacity and plans to add 4 GW module, 3 GW cell, and 6 GW ingot and wafer production capacity (see Jakson Engineers’ INR 80B Plan For 6 GW Solar PV Manufacturing).
In December 2025, it announced plans to establish India’s first hi-tech solar module recycling facility with its technical partner Ecoprogetti of Italy (see Jakson Ropes In Ecoprogetti For 300 MW Solar Module Recycling Plant).
“As solar manufacturing becomes more integrated and digitalised, process control, quality and cost efficiency will increasingly shape competitiveness. Ivan’s relevant experience in these domains will be valuable as JAKSON advances its manufacturing plans,” said JAKSON Group Vice Chairman Sundeep Gupta.
