For the past five weeks, fluctuations in IREDA have remained within a narrow range. This lack of clear direction calls for a decisive breakout, either above Rs 163 or below Rs 137, to establish the next move, said Laxmikant Shukla, Senior Technical Analyst at YES Securities.
"A drop below Rs 137 could lead to a decline towards Rs 121 while sustained trading above Rs 163 might push the index up to Rs 185. Investors should monitor these levels closely for potential trading opportunities. Additionally, volume trends may provide further insight into the strength of any breakout or breakdown," he said.
IREDA has also formed a new retail subsidiary to cater to retail projects encompassing Rooftop Solar, PM-KUSUM, Electric Vehicles, and other Business-to-Consumer (B2C) segments. More clarity on that will also be awaited from the management along with Q4 results.

The fundraising proposal was approved by its shareholders in February this year.
