IREDA launches Perpetual Bond of Rs 1247 Cr.
IREDA Share Price: Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited’s (IREDA’s) shares are in focus following the launch of its first-ever issue of perpetual bonds for an amount of Rs 1247 crores at an annual coupon rate of 8.40 per cent. In the filing, IREDA said it is a major step in optimising the company’s capital structure while capitalising on the current supportive market conditions.
“The issuance of Perpetual Bonds is a strategic move aimed at enhancing IREDA’s Tier-I capital, ensuring a stronger financial foundation to support the rapid expansion of India’s green energy infrastructure,” the company said in the filing.
A perpetual bond also known as ‘perp’ doesn’t have a maturity date and pays a continuous interest rate. The insurer, however, won’t return the principal amount to the lender.
Commenting on the successful issuance, Shri Pradip Kumar Das, Chairman and Managing Director, IREDA, said, “This is a historic milestone for IREDA. We extend our gratitude to investors for their enthusiastic response. Strengthening our capital base through Perpetual Bonds will enable us to scale up financing for renewable energy projects, accelerating India’s transition to a cleaner and more sustainable future.”
Tax Refund From IT Dept
In addition to this achievement, IREDA has received a refund of Rs 24.48 crores on March 19, 2025, from the Income Tax Department towards partial relief granted by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for Assessment Year (AY) 2011-12, related to certain disallowances.
