The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, which is owned by the government, has been given the green light by the authorities to issue as much as Rs 4,500 crore in equity shares to eligible organizations for investment.

Based on the declaration, the campaign for raising funds is going to be conducted via the Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) method, which involves the Government of India’s stake in Ireda being reduced by as much as 7 percent following the initial issue, to be completed in several installments.

The goal of the fundraising effort is to bolster Ireda’s financial standing, allowing the organization to expand its funding for green energy initiatives and more rapidly push India towards adopting sustainable energy sources.

“Reaching DIPAM authorization marks a significant advancement in our growth strategies,” Pradip Kumar Das, the Chairman and CEO of Ireda, stated in the press release.
