Outlook & valuation

IREDA delivered another remarkable quarter driven by healthy loan growth and higher interest income. As a Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFC), it plays a crucial role in providing financial assistance and other essential services to support the growth of green power capacity. Additionally, IREDA finances the establishment of solar manufacturing units and encourages the adoption of renewable energy to foster sustainable development. IREDA was recently granted Navratna status by the Department of Public enterprises.

We believe that IREDA is one of the largest pure-play green financing NBFC in India with the largest share in credit towards the RE sector other than PFC, providing comprehensive suite of financial products and related services for RE Sector. IREDA intends to play a critical role in meeting this financing requirement and enhancing its market share in these areas. IREDA plans to continue launching financing products to meet the evolving needs of RE developers. IREDA has demonstrated consistent growth in its loan book and maintained stable profitability in the renewable energy (RE) financing sector in India. Considering its nodal agency status and varied financial products, IREDA is well placed to capitalize on the growth in the RE sector. Strong loan growth & pipeline provides visibility on balance sheet growth. At CMP of Rs.295, the stock is trading at P/BV of 9.2x. We maintain HOLD rating on the stock.
