Auditor’s Observations

Shiv & Associates, IREDA’s independent auditors, issued a clean audit opinion, affirming compliance with Ind AS 34 and RBI guidelines. However, key points of emphasis include:
  1. ₹1,103.68 crore in loans classified as Stage II instead of Stage III due to interim court orders.
  2. IREDA’s wholly owned subsidiary in GIFT City, IREDA Global Green Energy IFSC Ltd, has yet to commence operations.

"Our strong financial performance demonstrates IREDA’s continued commitment to funding renewable energy projects in India. The planned equity raise via QIP will enable us to accelerate growth and expand financing opportunities in the renewable sector," said Pradip Kumar Das, Chairman & Managing Director.

Outlook

IREDA remains strategically positioned to benefit from India’s growing renewable energy sector, supported by government initiatives and green financing mechanisms. The company's strong loan growth, stable asset quality, and planned capital infusion will aid its expansion and profitability in the coming quarters.
