New Delhi: The Indian Renewable Energy Dev Agency (IREDA) shares are in focus after the company confirmed securing a 26 billion Japanese Yen External Commercial Borrowing facility from SBI’s Tokyo Branch. The PSU NBFC also secured a green shoe option of 10 billion Japanese Yen. The landed cost (after hedging) is expected to be below 7 per cent, making it more cost-effective than similar-tenure loans in the domestic market

The unsecured facility will help IREDA strengthen its presence on the international level. IREDA share price was trading at Rs 162.21 at 12:40 pm on March 28, 2025.

“The landed cost (after hedging) is expected to be below 7 per cent, making it more cost-effective than similar-tenure loans in the domestic market,” it said.

IREDA chairman & managing director Pradip Kumar Das said the 26 bn Japanese Yen ECB facility from SBI, Tokyo will enable the company to diversify its resource base and optimize costs, enhancing our lending operations to support India’s renewable energy sector.

The state-owned NBFC recently announced raising Rs 910 crore through issuance of bonds through the issuance of Privately Placed Subordinated Tier-II Bonds for a 10-year tenor at an annual coupon rate of 7.74 per cent.
