Commenting on the continued growth metrics, Shri Pradip Kumar Das, Chairman & Managing Director, said: “Operational excellence and responsible financing remain at the heart of our business strategy. We are committed to creating long-term stakeholder value through strong corporate governance, financial discipline, and robust support to India’s renewable energy goals.”
In a major policy boost, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) under the Ministry of Finance has notified IREDA bonds as ‘long-term specified assets’ under Section 54EC of the Income-tax Act, 1961, effective July 9, 2025. This enables investors to claim capital gains tax exemption while supporting India’s green transition. The move is also expected to reduce IREDA’s cost of capital and encourage wider investor participation.
Over the past financial year, IREDA has steadily reduced its NPAs over time by strengthening credit appraisal systems and recovery mechanisms and as a part of its forward strategy, the organisation continues to diversify its lending portfolio and align with national and global sustainability goals.
