EconomyIndia: The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA) has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining an international credit rating. S&P Global Ratings, an esteemed international credit rating agency, has assigned IREDA a long-term issuer credit rating of ‘BBB-‘ and a short-term issuer credit rating of ‘A-3’ with a ‘stable’ outlook.
