Joshi encouraged IREDA CMD to position the company as a key player in the global renewable energy landscape. "GIFT City is a hub for international financial and investment activities, playing a pivotal role in India’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047," remarked Joshi.

IREDA CMD highlighted the importance of this milestone, stating, "IREDA’s presence in GIFT City reflects our commitment to advancing green financing solutions on a global scale. This new subsidiary will help us secure competitive funding and foster collaborations with international investors, boosting the renewable energy sector forward. As the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has earlier underlined, 'GIFT City is a gateway to global opportunities,' and IREDA is poised to leverage these opportunities."

The establishment of IREDA Global Green Energy Finance IFSC Limited is a strategic initiative to expand IREDA’s international footprint and unlock new business opportunities. Recently, S&P Global Ratings assigned IREDA a 'BBB-' long-term and 'A-3' short-term issuer credit rating, with a 'Stable' outlook.
