The renewable energy landscape in South Asia is witnessing increased cross-border collaboration as nations strive to meet ambitious decarbonization targets. Recently, Anura Karunathilaka, Minister of Energy for the Government of Sri Lanka, led a high-level delegation to India to assess the manufacturing prowess of the domestic solar industry. The visit centered on the JAKSON solar module facility located in Greater Noida, a strategic hub for India’s clean energy manufacturing sector.
During the site visit, the delegation gained firsthand insight into JAKSON Group’s 1.2 GW fully automated manufacturing line. The facility is specialized in the production of high-efficiency p-type and n-type TOPCon modules, which are currently at the forefront of solar technology adoption in India. Beyond solar hardware, the discussions were broad in scope, covering JAKSON’s diversified portfolio, which includes electrolyser manufacturing and comprehensive green energy solutions. Minister Karunathilaka emphasized that Sri Lanka aims to leverage India’s expertise in renewable energy to accelerate its own transition, identifying JAKSON as a potential partner for future infrastructure development.
For EPC contractors and solar developers, this visit underscores the growing export potential of Indian-made solar components. As global markets look to diversify supply chains away from single-source dependencies, Indian manufacturers like JAKSON are increasingly viewed as reliable, high-tech suppliers. Developers should note that the integration of TOPCon technology into regional projects is becoming a standard requirement for optimizing land use and energy yield. Furthermore, the interest in green hydrogen and electrolyser technology suggests that the scope of collaboration between Indian firms and regional neighbors will extend well beyond traditional solar PV installations.
The dialogue between the Sri Lankan delegation and JAKSON’s leadership is expected to foster continued engagement regarding technology transfer and supply chain integration. As India continues to solidify its position as a global renewable energy manufacturing hub, such international visits serve as a precursor to formal trade agreements and project-specific procurement. The broader India renewable energy sector remains on a high-growth trajectory, bolstered by domestic manufacturing incentives and a growing reputation for engineering excellence that is now attracting significant interest from neighboring South Asian markets.
