On the other side, Dr. Ravi Singh, SVP - Retail Research at Religare Broking Ltd explained that the IREDA share price is very strong on both technical and fundamental parameters. The company has posted robust growth numbers recently, with a surge in net profit backed by higher income. The technical charts on a daily and weekly basis suggest a strong move ahead. The long-term MAs are in support of the trend, and a target of ₹190 with a stop loss of ₹150 is very probable anytime soon.

As on today, IREDA share price has gained 400.9% since its listing on 29 November 2023. The ₹2,150.21 crore IREDA IPO consisted of a fresh issue of up to 40.32 crore shares and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 26.88 crore equity shares. The stock has been soaring since its listing, and was off to a great start this fiscal year 2025.
