Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA) is all set to raise around INR 4500 crore through fresh equity issue. The firm recently received approval from the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) on the basis of the recommendations of a High-Level Committee.
According to the sources, the fund-raising will be carried out through the Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) route, with a planned dilution of the Government of India’s shareholding in IREDA by up to 7 percent on a post-issue basis, to be executed in one or more tranches.
The fund-raising exercise aims to strengthen IREDA’s capital base, enabling the organization to scale its financing for renewable energy projects and further accelerate India’s transition to clean energy.
Commenting on this approval, IREDA CMD Pradip Kumar Das said, “DIPAM approval represents a critical step forward in our expansion plans. With fresh capital infusion, we will be better positioned to support India’s ambitious renewable energy goals and continue playing a pivotal role in financing clean energy projects across the country.”
