If you are investing you should forget about the price you paid for initially. If you are trading you got to have stop loss.
Will you buy the same stock today at this price? If answer is yes hold it. You sell when thesis changes.
Are there better opportunities? If yes put new money there or if it’s too attractive opportunity then sell and move proceed in new idea.
Ex: I own HDFC bank and it lost 25% last quarter will i sell it? no. i believe it will perform better and no profit warnings.
Although you haven’t asked use tax loss harvesting through out the year we can carry loses for like 7 years something like that.
Ps: not an advisor

Just honestly ask yourself, why you bought IREDA shares? If the reason is Long Term Investing then hold it for at least 2-3 years irrespective of price levels. If its short Term swing trade, Hold or Exit based on your Stop Loss.
short term: if you wouldn’t buy more IREDA at today’s price, your capital is better off in a fresh idea with actual momentum.
long term: you must have believed in some strong fundamentals, hold on to it unless you see those fundamentals not holding true anymore.
IREDA represents a compelling structural investment opportunity despite short-term technical noise, as the company occupies a monopolistic position in India’s renewable energy financing ecosystem with explicit government backing and policy tailwinds. The fundamental thesis is strengthened by 67% YoY net profit growth and strategic alignment with India’s decarbonization agenda, creating a durable competitive moat. While technicals show pre-market selling pressure and derivative neutrality, these reflect short-term volatility rather than structural weakness in a stock with 46% annualized volatility. The high institutional ownership potential and discounted valuation relative to pure-play green energy peers like Adani Green suggest significant rerating potential. The negative operating cash flow is characteristic of rapid expansion in lending institutions and should normalize as the loan book matures. This creates a favorable risk-reward setup where technical weakness provides entry opportunities into a fundamentally strong long-term thematic play.

Hold it. Business is fine — profits up 38% last quarter, renewable energy story intact. Stock fell due to sentiment, not fundamentals. ₹207 was a peak entry, so breakeven needs 2–3 years of patience. If it’s long-term money, sit tight. If you need the capital, trim half and move on.
