The IPO will enable IREDA to increase its equity base and help raise more debt resources for funding renewable energy projects. A government release said the IPO would also increase IREDA’s visibility in domestic and international financial markets.

IREDA is registered as Non-Banking Financial Company with the Reserve Bank of India, primarily working with the private sector enterprises operating in the power sector.

While financing has been deemed a major issue in the past for Indian solar, various financiers have explained how a new atmosphere in Indian financing helped drive PV tariffs to new record lows in Madhya Pradesh back in February, and in Rajasthan more recently.
