At the upper end of the price band, the P/B translates to 1.19 times, said SMIFS. "The growth trajectory is pretty steep for renewable energy in India and that should translate into healthy growth for IREDA further if the company can continue to maintain asset quality at decent levels," it added with a subscribe rating for the issue.
