The state-owned Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) unveiled collaboration with Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) to jointly fund renewable energy projects in India. The formal agreement, inked in the national capital, was attended by IREDA CMD Pradip Kumar Das and IOB MD and CEO Ajay Kumar Srivastava, according to an official statement.

IREDA's CMD emphasised, "Through the consolidation of our strengths and resources, our goal is to provide robust financial support to renewable energy projects.
