In the past 12 months, IREDA shares have skyrocketed 292 percent. In comparison, Nifty rose 29 percent during this period.

Shares of IREDA extended their rally on September 11 after the state-owned company informed that its wholly-owned subsidiary IREDA Global Green Energy Finance IFSC Ltd has been granted provisional registration as a finance company by the International Financial Services Centre Authority (IFSCA).
