IREDA share price jumps over 5% on strong guidance, ₹4,500-crore QIP buzz
- IREDA share price has fallen nearly 9% in three months and 27% in six months. The PSU stock has delivered over 87% returns in one year.
IREDA share price jumped over 5% on Monday, despite the stock market crash today. IREDA stock price rallied as much as 5.51% to ₹212.30 apiece on the BSE.
The gains in shares of Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd (IREDA) came on the back of strong guidance from the company and its management sharing a tentative timeline for its ₹4,500-crore worth Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), analysts said.
“IREDA share price is rising despite weakness in the Indian stock market today. This rise in IREDA shares can be attributed to two major reasons: strong guidance by the company post-strong Q3 results 2025 and management highlighting the timeline for ₹4,500 crore QIP,” said Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities.
In September last year, the ‘Navratna’ PSU company, IREDA, received government approval for raising ₹4,500 crore through fresh equity issue. The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) gave its approval to the company on September 18, 2024, to raise up to ₹4,500 crore in fresh equity issue through a QIP.
The government is likely to dilute up to 7% stake in IREDA through this QIP.
“The fund-raising exercise aims to strengthen IREDA’s capital base, enabling the organization to scale its financing for renewable energy projects and further accelerate India’s transition to clean energy,” IREDA had said in a regulatory filing.
