Good days for IREDA, govt will sell a large stake!!!

A big decision has been taken regarding IREDA, which is owned by the central government. The government has approved IREDA to raise about Rs 4,500 through Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). In this, the company will launch its fresh shares in the market. The government has decided to sell about 7 percent of its stake in this company.

Shares can be sold to investors like banks and mutual funds

Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency said on wednesday that it has got approval from the government to bring QIP (Qualified Institutions Placement). Through this, it will try to raise about Rs 4,500 crore. Through this QIP, the company will be able to give its shares to institutional investors like banks and mutual funds. The central government has a majority stake in IREDA. This QIP will also reduce the government's stake in the company. Earlier, IREDA's board had approved raising funds of Rs 4,500 crore through FPO, Rights Issue or Preferential Issue.

The company will remain under the control of the government even after selling the stake

According to the Economic Times report, IREDA has informed the stock exchange that it has received the approval of the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management for the QIP. Earlier, a high-level committee of the government had approved the sale of shares. The committee had told the company that it could sell 7 percent of the government's stake together or in pieces. Even after selling this stake, the central government will continue to control IREDA.
