The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd (IREDA), a key public sector financier under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, has initiated a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) to raise Rs. 5,000 crore. The company’s board has set a floor price of Rs. 173.83 per equity share, in accordance with SEBI’s pricing norms. The QIP, approved by both the board and shareholders earlier this year, seeks to strengthen IREDA’s capital base in response to rising demand for renewable energy financing.
