IREDA Share Price Rises After 86% Growth in Loan Sanctions in Q2 FY26

IREDA share price rose over 3% on Wednesday, and hit an intra-day high of ₹154.35 on the BSE. At 10:54 AM, the stock was trading 3.34% higher at ₹153.66. In comparison, the BSE Sensex inched up just 0.31% to 80,515.04.

IREDA’s market capitalisation stood at ₹41.29K crore. The stock has seen a 52-week high of ₹239.95 and a 52-week low of ₹137.

Why Are Investors Buying IREDA Shares?

The buying interest was sparked by the company’s September quarter (Q2FY26) business update, which showed a sharp jump in loan activity.

• Loans sanctioned: ₹33,148 crore in Q2FY26 vs ₹17,860 crore a year ago, up 86%
• Loan disbursements: ₹15,043 crore vs ₹9,787 crore last year, up 54%
• Loan book outstanding: ₹84,445 crore vs ₹64,564 crore a year ago, up 31%

These strong numbers showed continued demand for renewable energy financing, boosting investor confidence.

Profit Pressure Continues

Despite the business growth, IREDA’s earnings have been under stress. In the June quarter (Q1FY26), net profit dropped 35.6% year-on-year to ₹246.88 crore from ₹383.7 crore in Q1FY25. Sequentially, profit plunged over 50% from ₹501.79 crore in Q4FY25.

Revenue from operations rose 29% year-on-year to ₹1,947.60 crore and grew 2.3% quarter-on-quarter. However, rising financing costs—which increased to ₹1,218 crore from ₹975 crore a year ago—hurt margins and profits.

Conclusion

IREDA’s Q2 update showed strong loan growth and a healthy pipeline of renewable energy projects, which lifted its stock price.
