IREDA Loan Syndication & Term Financing for Tender Contractors in India
How solar developers and contractors obtain debt financing, letter of comfort, and non-fund based credit limits from IREDA.
Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) provides specialized debt financing for solar developers and contractors bidding on central and state government auctions.
For utility and rooftop projects won under SECI or state discom auctions, IREDA provides debt up to 70-75% of total project cost at competitive interest rates.
Bidders often apply for an IREDA 'Letter of Comfort' during the bid preparation phase to satisfy the tender's requirement for tie-up of debt capital.
IREDA requires an audited Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) of at least 1.15 to 1.25 across the projected repayment period.
Understanding IREDA's disbursement milestones enables EPCs to negotiate favorable payment terms with module and inverter OEMs.
