In a regulatory filing to the stock exchanges, the PSU said, “The Board of IREDA accorded in-principle approval for raising equity capital for an amount aggregating upto Rs 4,500 Crore in one or more tranches through Further Public Offer (FPO) / Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) / Right Issue / Preferential Issue or any other permitted mode or a combination thereof, subject to the approval from the Govt of India and other statutory/regulatory approvals.

IREDA shares closed at Rs 254.50 apiece on BSE on Thursday after the announcement, up 0.22 percent from the closing price of Rs 253.95 a day ago.
