The IREDA board approved funding ₹4,500 crore through QIP, FPO, and other mechanisms.
On July 1 Pradip Kumar Das, IREDA CMD had said that the company may go for FPO to raise funds and it may be between ₹4,000 crore to 5,000 crore.
(IREDA)’s board authorised the fund raising amounting to ₹4,500 crore at end of board meeting on Thursday August 29.
It may be done through Follow-On Public Offer (FPO) Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), rights issue, preferential issue or any other means permitted by law.
On July 1 Pradip Kumar Das had said that the FPO company might raise capital of around ₹4,000 crore to ₹5,000 crore.
Das indicated further that an application for FPO has been submitted to the authorities but this procedure requires time; he added that it is possible for the FPO to occur between November and February of this year.
IREDA made its entry into the stock market last November and appreciated by almost seven times its initial public offering price before declining ever since.
Currently, IREDA shares are virtually unchanged at Rs 254.2 apiece while, in view of 143% increase during this year only, they have lost 20% from their highest point of Rs310 reached so far in all time history.
