Further, the company informed that the trading window for dealing in the company’s securities shall continue to remain closed until 48 hours after the conclusion of the board meeting on March 25.
“During the above period of closure of the trading window, all designated persons and their immediate relatives are advised not to deal in IREDA’s equity shares and listed debt securities,” IREDA said in its filing.
In a separate regulatory filing, the company said that its board of directors, in its meeting held today, approved the enhancement of the borrowing plan for FY 2025–26 from up to ₹30,800 crore to up to ₹35,800 crore.
The enhanced plan will be executed through a diversified mix of instruments, including taxable bonds, subordinated Tier-II bonds, perpetual debt instruments (PDI), term loans from banks and financial institutions, and lines of credit from international agencies. It will also tap short-term loans, working capital demand loans (WCDL), and external commercial borrowings (ECB) to meet its funding requirements.

The borrowing mix for FY27 is expected to be broad-based, covering instruments such as taxable bonds, green bonds, green masala bonds, subordinated bonds, and perpetual debt instruments. The company said it may also explore foreign currency bonds denominated in USD, EUR, or JPY, along with bond ETFs and other debt securities.
