IREDA Shares Surge 7% in Seventh Straight Day of Gains on Heavy Volume
Shares of state-run Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency extended their rally for the seventh straight day on heavy trading volume. The IREDA share price climbed as much as 7.3% to hit an intraday high of ₹119.58 on the National Stock Exchange, up from its previous close of ₹111.46 after opening at ₹111.62.
- IREDA shares rose 7.3% to an intraday high of ₹119.58, extending a seven-day winning streak.
- Trading volume crossed 2.8 crore shares by early afternoon, far exceeding the 20-day average of 34 lakh.
- The lender filed a bankruptcy application against Gensol Engineering over a defaulted loan amount of ₹510 crore.
Over the last ten trading sessions, the state-owned stock has closed higher in eight, accumulating a total gain of 20%. Market data shows the latest surge in the IREDA share price was accompanied by intense trading activity, with around 2.8 crore shares changing hands by 1:15 PM—sharply higher than the stock’s 20-day average volume of 34 lakh shares. The rally pushes the stock past levels it had not touched in nearly two years.
Volume surge drives seventh day of gains
The recent buying interest comes as the non-banking financial company continues its run as a primary green energy lender. MarketsMojo noted a 5% single-session rally during the current streak, while NDTV Profit reported that eight out of the last ten sessions yielded positive returns for shareholders.
Despite the recent momentum, figures published by Mint show the stock remains down nearly 20% over a one-year horizon. Analysts and traders continue to track technical support and stop-loss levels as the rally unfolds on high volume.
Bankruptcy action against Gensol Engineering
Alongside its stock movement, the state-run lender has initiated insolvency proceedings against one of its commercial borrowers. IREDA filed a bankruptcy application against Gensol Engineering following a defaulted loan amount of ₹510 crore. News18 reported that following the public disclosure of the bankruptcy filing, Gensol shares hit their 5% upper circuit limit as both counters saw elevated trading interest.
Past rallies, Q1 earnings and brokerage warnings
The stock has experienced wide swings throughout the year. On July 3, the share price jumped nearly 6% following a large deal to touch an all-time high of ₹218.85, more than doubling investors’ money on a year-to-date basis at that point. Days earlier, on July 1, the stock traded up 3.59% at ₹197.28 after releasing a first-quarter business update.
Mint reported that stock market analysts voiced optimism regarding the company’s growth after its June 2024 quarter financial results revealed a year-on-year revenue growth from operations of over 32%. However, the stock faced a sudden drop on July 16, when shares fell 5% after domestic brokerage Philip Capital issued a sell rating.
Quarter earnings and F&O entry history
IREDA, a non-deposit-taking NBFC engaged in financing renewable energy projects, has seen several trading catalysts in recent months. In February, moneycontrol.com reported the stock rose over 4% following its entry into the Futures and Options (F&O) segment on strong investor demand.
Earlier in the year, Zee Business reported that the stock hit a high of ₹142.30—up 4.13% in a single session—after the announcement of its third-quarter earnings. Attention now shifts to the lender’s upcoming operational disclosures and quarterly results for the next trading triggers.
