    Solution

    Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) is a mechanism in India used by publicly listed companies to raise capital by selling shares or convertible securities to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs). It allows companies to bypass complex procedures and regulatory hurdles that are generally associated with public offerings such as IPOs. The main advantage of QIP is the simplified process, which enables quicker capital raising while maintaining compliance with regulations. This method is especially useful for companies like IREDA, which aim to raise large amounts of capital to scale up operations—in this case, to support renewable energy financing.
