These suggestions included the introduction of a Line of Credit towards working capital requirements, digital signing of loan documents and the consideration of equity funding or short-term funding for the Hydro sector, etc.

Expressing his gratitude, CMD thanked IREDA’s business partners for their valuable feedback and suggestions, which have been instrumental in the company’s historic growth over the past four years. “Post-listing of the company, our responsibility extends beyond just our customers; we are equally accountable to our investors,” he noted, acknowledging the continued confidence and trust placed in IREDA by its investors.

The dialogue saw active participation from borrowers in the solar, wind, hydro, bio energy and emerging technologies sectors engaged in productive discussions about sector-specific issues, state policies and other challenges. Many customers praised IREDA for its ease of doing business approach, paperless processes and speedy loan sanctions and disbursements.

The valuable insights and suggestions shared by the customers during the discussion are expected to greatly help IREDA in supporting the nation's transition to a green energy future.
