However, the number of shares proposed to be issued to employees and retail investors will be finalized in consultation with the lead managers and as per the SEBI regulations.

The Public issue of equity will enable IREDA to increase its equity base which will help them raise more debt resources for funding RE projects.

IREDA, being the premier institution for RE Sector, will be required to raise equity funds to leverage loan financing for RE Sector.

IREDA has to cater to the increasing needs of the sector to sustain its contribution to the Renewable Energy Sector. Government of India has scaled-up the RE targets to 175 GW by the year 2022. To achieve this ambitious target, substantial investments in RE sector will be required.
