The profit growth was primarily driven by the consistent growth in the company’s loan book and a significant reduction in its net non-performing assets (NPA).

IREDA’s total income in Q4 was recorded at ₹13.92 billion (~$166.9 million), a 34.3% YoY increase from ₹10.36 billion (~$124.2 million).

At the end of the quarter, the lender’s loan book recorded a 27% YoY increase to ₹596.98 billion (~$7.1 billion) from ₹470.76 billion (~$5.6 billion).

IREDA’s net worth saw a 44% YoY increase to ₹85.59 billion (~$ 1.02 billion).
