Earlier this month, it was widely reported that IREDA was looking to raise INR15-20 billion (US$224-298 million) through taxable bonds this year to finance renewable energy projects. Last financial year the Agency managed to raise INR20 billion.

In January, IREDA also said it would issue INR17.2 billion (US$257 million) in tax-free bonds for financing renewable energy projects in 2015/16. The bonds would have a face value of INR1,000 each.

PV Tech recently interviewed Bob Smith, executive vice president and head of asset management at Mytrah Energy, to discuss how to raise finance for the Indian solar market. Investors have poured INR860 billion into India’s renewable energy projects during the last three years.
