Right now, IREDA is India's biggest pure-play NBFC for green financing. Any organised funding that supports international efforts to tackle climate change and the shift to a low-carbon economy is referred to as "green financing."
Additionally, the company's portfolio is diversified because no state accounts for more than 16 per cent of total loans, which keeps a state or regional concentration at bay.
However, the business has low Net Interest Margins (NIMs) and poor return ratios. Also, compared to peers like Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) and Power Finance Corporation Ltd (PFC), its spreads are lower. In comparison to REC and PFC, the company's Provision Coverage Ratio is also lower.
Because IREDA has written off more than it has slipped, its asset quality has improved. This demonstrates how feeble the recuperation mechanism is.
Additionally, it does not adhere to the financing terms of foreign lines of credit, such as those with the Asian Development Bank, with regard to maintaining their levels of gross non-performing assets.
IREDA would seek to capitalise on the significant prospects found in the renewable energy industry. According to a recent research, $223 billion in funding will be needed over the next eight years just to reach the 2030 projections for solar and wind power.
