Welcoming Saha, Sameer Gupta, Chairman, JAKSON Group, said, “JAKSON has always taken a long-term view while building businesses that address evolving energy needs. Ivan’s experience will support our continued investment in advanced manufacturing and contribute to the Group’s growth.”

Sharing his perspective on the sector, Sundeep Gupta, Vice Chairman, JAKSON Group, said, “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.”

Ivan Saha, Managing Director, JAKSON Engineers, commenting on his appointment, said, “I am excited to join JAKSON and work with its experienced leadership team as the company expands its solar manufacturing capabilities and undertakes an ambitious backward integration journey. I look forward to contributing to this next phase of manufacturing scale up, with a continued emphasis on technology, quality and operational efficiency aligned with the nation’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ mission”

Saha brings extensive leadership experience in the renewable energy and photovoltaic sectors. Prior to joining JAKSON, he served as CEO of Reliance Infrastructure’s renewable manufacturing business. Earlier in his career, he was Chief Executive Officer of Vikram Solar, having previously held the positions of Chief Technology Officer and Head of Manufacturing at the company. He also served as Chief Technology Officer at ReNew Power and held key leadership roles at Moser Baer Photovoltaic and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

He has actively engaged in industry forums, having served as Chairman of FICCI’s National Task Force on Solar Manufacturing and of CII’s Eastern Region Energy Council. He is currently the Co-Chair of the ‘International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV)’ Board and a member of the World Solar Congress Advisory Board. An accomplished technologist, he has authored more than 65 research papers and filed over 10 patent applications in photovoltaic technology.

KPI Green Energy has provided an update on the execution progress of its Independent Power Producer (IPP) portfolio, which has reached a total capacity of 2.57 GWp. Of this, approximately 1.16 GWp has already been energised, while around 1.41 GWp remains under active execution. The company said the portfolio is strengthening its asset-backed IPP model, supported by long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), mostly with tenures of up to 25 years.

KPI Green has commissioned and commenced power injection from its 200 MW/240 MWp solar IPP project at Khavda Solar Park (South Block) in Gujarat. The project is among the early projects to become operational within the 1.8 GW solar park developed by GSECL and is connected under a long-term PPA with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL).

The company has also achieved grid synchronisation and power injection ahead of schedule for its 50 MW/92.15 MWp hybrid renewable energy project, comprising 16.95 MW of wind capacity and 75.2 MWp of solar capacity. The project is connected to GUVNL under a long-term PPA, with the early synchronisation highlighting the company’s execution capabilities in hybrid renewable projects.

Under two long-term PPAs executed with GUVNL in October 2024, KPI Green is developing a combined 620 MW/1,027 MWp solar and hybrid renewable energy portfolio. Within this portfolio, the company has commissioned 180.70 MW/251.13 MWp of the 250 MW/350 MWp solar project on a phased basis, while the remaining capacity is under execution. In the 370 MW/677 MWp hybrid project, an additional 130 MW/195 MWp was energised in August 2026, taking the total commissioned capacity to 269.70 MW/389.70 MWp.

KPI Green is also progressing its wind portfolio, with a 150 MW wind project having recently achieved financial closure and scheduled for commissioning within the planned timeline. Meanwhile, the PPA signing process is underway for a separate 300 MW wind IPP project, which is expected to further expand the company’s wind capacity.

In energy storage, KPI Green subsidiary Sun Drops Energia has executed Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreements (BESPA) with GUVNL for two standalone BESS projects with a cumulative capacity of 565 MW/1,130 MWh. The projects are expected to strengthen KPI Green’s presence in utility-scale energy storage and its ability to integrate renewable generation with grid-stability and energy-management solutions.
