According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year IREDA share price target is \u20b9183.6 with a low forecast of \u20b9181.8.

Its increased borrowing plan and aggressive fundraising strategy signal strong growth ambitions, especially as demand for renewable energy financing in India continues to expand. With long-term sector tailwinds and a positive analyst outlook, IREDA still appears well-positioned for future growth.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Also_Read\"><\/span>&nbsp;<strong>Also Read<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/why-defence-stocks-are-falling-today\"><strong>Why Defence Stocks Are Falling Today: HAL, BEL, Mazagon Dock Down Up to 8%<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/why-is-lux-industries-share-price-falling\"><strong>Why is Lux Industries Share Price Falling?<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/why-is-shaily-engineering-plastics-share-price-falling\"><strong>Why is Shaily Engineering Plastics&#8217; Share Price Falling?<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/why-is-neogen-chemicals-share-price-falling\"><strong>Why is Neogen Chemicals Share Price Falling?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent IREDA share price is \u20b9114.15, down 4.24%, after the Navratna PSU company declared an interim dividend of \u20b90.60 per equity share for the ongoing fiscal year 2026, with a record date of 2nd April, 2026.&nbsp; The company has announced in its press release that the board of directors has approved an interim dividend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":65850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[842],"tags":[3802,3914],"class_list":["post-65849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-news","tag-share-price-falls"],"metadata":{"_edit_lock":["1774617296:28"],"_last_editor_used_jetpack":["block-editor"],"rank_math_internal_links_processed":["1"],"rank_math_primary_category":["842"],"rank_math_seo_score":["61"],"rank_math_description":["IREDA share price falls over 4% to \u20b9114.15 after announcing a \u20b90.60 interim dividend.
