In his address, Das highlighted the significance of this AGM as the first one held after IREDA's successful IPO in November 2023. He said, “IREDA achieved its highest-ever sanction of Rs 37,354 crore and disbursement of Rs 25,089 crore in FY'24. The company also reported an all-time high net profit of Rs 1,252 crore for FY'24, reflecting a nearly 45 percent increase over FY'23. IREDA has published its annual audited financial results within 19 days, fastest in India’s banking and NBFC space.”

Das outlined IREDA's strategic vision, emphasizing the focus on business development, borrowing optimization, and streamlining the operating model to support sustained growth. He underscored the importance of expanding into emerging sectors like e-mobility, ethanol, green hydrogen & derivatives, utilizing international credit lines, and enhancing the borrower experience through digitisation and automation.

IREDA's loan book has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33 percent in the last three years, with PAT increasing at a CAGR of around 41 percent. The company's net worth stood at Rs 8,559 crore in FY'24, boasting a robust Capital to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of 20.11 percent. To meet the target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel installed capacity by 2030, the country needs to increase its renewable energy capacity by 2.5 times. This will require an estimated investment of nearly Rs 30 lakh crore.
