The grant of IFC status, according to a statement from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, recognises IREDA's 36 years of infrastructure finance and development with a concentration on renewable energy.

With IFC status, IREDA will continue to support the Center's goal of installing 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, the ministry stated.
