The CRAR of the Company increased from 17.77% as on March 31, 2025 to 19.58% as on June 30, 2025 majorly due to increase in Tier-1 capital from the QIP raising. As per the Objects of the Issue, the net proceeds raised from the QIP were used for onward lending towards renewable energy projects and general corporate purpose. (e) The timing and successful execution of IREDA’s QIP after its Initial Public Offering (IPO) underscores a high level of investor confidence in the company and India’s renewable energy sector. IREDA was listed on the stock exchanges on 29th November 2023 following an IPO that saw an overwhelming demand. Following listing at an issue price of ₹32 per share, IREDA’s stock has shown listing gains and continued strength in the secondary market. This reflects investor’s optimism around renewable energy financing and confidence in IREDA’s financials, asset quality, growth trajectory, robust and corporate governance. Key indicators that illustrate the robust investor sentiment include: i. The QIP was subscribed by marquee investors like LIC which reinforces the long-term institutional confidence in IREDA’s business model and sectoral growth. ii. The participation of marquee institutional investors bolsters the credibility of the QIP. LIC’s large investment approx. ₹1,003 crore, taking 50% of the issue – signals domestic institutional confidence in IREDA’s stability and mission. Moreover, the inclusion of global financial institutions like Morgan Stanley and Societe Generale as significant allottees shows that foreign investors also view IREDA as an attractive player in India’s renewable energy financing space. Such diverse investor interest (insurers, banks, foreign portfolio investors, etc.) reflects a broad conviction in IREDA’s creditworthiness and growth trajectory. *****
