In its Q1FY25 business update shared late last month, IREDA had said it had sanctioned loans worth Rs 9,136 crore in the June quarter, up 382.62% over the same quarter last year (YoY).

After receiving the ‘Navratna’ status, IREDA’s stock has attracted the attention of investors. Apart from this, the company’s stock has seen this growth due to the government’s increasing focus on the renewable energy sector. IREDA is a major player in the renewable energy sector.
ICICI Direct said in a recent note, “We remain positive on the long-term growth prospects given the government’s focus on the renewable energy sector, which will aid long-term growth in assets under management (AUM). Hence, we maintain a buy rating on the stock.”
In the fourth quarter of the last financial year i.e. Q4FY24, IREDA recorded a net profit of Rs 337.37 crore, registering a year-on-year (YoY) growth of 33%.
