Pradip Kumar Das, Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) of IREDA, extended a warm welcome to Joshi, Bhupinder Singh Bhalla, Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and other senior officials. During the review meeting, Das highlighted IREDA's remarkable achievements over the past four years and discussed the company's plans to contribute towards the Government of India's target of generating 500 GW of non-fossil-based electricity by 2030, in line with the vision of 'Viksit Bharat'. Dr. Bijay Kumar Mohanty, Director (Finance) and other senior officials were also present at the meeting.

Joshi praised IREDA for its pioneering role in the renewable energy sector since its inception and its significant growth over the last four years.

He encouraged Team IREDA to sustain the rapid growth of the company.

The discussions covered various significant topics, including IREDA's sectoral financing, diversification strategies, future growth and fundraising plans.

The challenges faced by IREDA in meeting the growing demand for funding in the renewable energy sector were also discussed.

CMD Das delivered a comprehensive presentation showcasing IREDA's strategic roadmap to transition from a 'Navratna' to a 'Maharatna' Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) by 2030.
