IREDA (Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency) is an NBFC established in 1987 to provide innovative financing in renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency, conservation, and environmental technologies. It operates as a wholly owned Government of India (“GoI”) enterprise under the administrative control of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
Within power financing NBFCs, the company holds the largest share of credit toward the RE sector, second only to Power Finance Corporation. However, unlike Power Finance Corporation, which is also involved in sectors such as infrastructure, roads, and mining, IREDA is solely dedicated to the RE sector.
The company’s shares debuted on Indian exchanges on November 29 at ₹60 each, surpassing its issue price of ₹32. Within less than two weeks of listing, the stock witnessed an impressive surge of 105.33%. However, after reaching an all-time high of ₹214.80, profit booking occurred, leading to the stock currently trading 17.40% lower from that peak. Nevertheless, it remains up by 456% from its IPO price.
