Ireda files ₹510 crore insolvency plea against Gensol under IBC
"In furtherance to our earlier letter dated 25.04.2025 with respect to M/s Gensol Engineering Limited, this is to inform you that the Company has filed an application today i.e. May 14, 2025 under Section 7 of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 against M/s Gensol Engineering Ltd, for an amount of default of ₹510,00,52,672/- (Rupees Five Hundred Ten Crore and Fifty Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Two Only)," the company said in a filing.
Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code allows
financial creditors
to initiate a
corporate insolvency resolution process
(CIRP) against a corporate debtor in case of default.
The move follows Ireda's complaint to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police on April 25, alleging that Gensol submitted falsified documents and diluted promoters' shares without approval from lenders.
At the time, Ireda had said Gensol's account was under stress but not yet classified as a non-performing asset (NPA). It also stated that an internal review had been initiated in line with Reserve Bank of India guidelines and internal due diligence protocols.
The developments also follow a series of regulatory actions against Gensol Engineering and its promoters. On Tuesday, Anmol Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi, co-founders of Gensol, resigned from the company. Their resignation came a month after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) barred them from holding any key managerial positions.
Sebi alleged that the Jaggi brothers diverted company funds for personal luxury purchases and were involved in debt defaults. The market regulator also claimed that Gensol defaulted on loans, including those taken to finance electric vehicles for BluSmart Mobility.
In April, the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at Gensol's premises and seized documents and electronic records. Sebi has also ordered a forensic audit of the company.

ED Issues Look Out Notice Against Anil Ambani: Report
A SEBI report allegedly found that R‑Infra, a Reliance Group company, had moved around Rs. 10,000 crore to other group companies through an undisclosed private entity without declaring it as a related party. New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a lookout circular against businessman Anil Ambani, managing director of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani (ADA) Group, according to a report by Hindustan Times. The agency is investigating allegations of loan fraud worth thousands of crores by his companies, sources told HT on August 1. The issuance of a lookout circular, or LOC, means that Ambani can no longer leave India without the permission of courts. As per the HT report, Ambani has also been summoned for questioning under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on August 5. 'We have issued a LOC against Anil Ambani and issued summons to him on August 5 asking him to appear in Delhi for recording his statement under the PMLA in the loan fraud probe,' HT quoted an officer in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as saying. The unnamed source also said that Ambani would likely be asked about various loans based on findings by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), a statutory body under the government of India that regulates securities and the commodity market in the country. The HT report said that the ED searched the premises of 50 companies and 25 people, including senior executives, associated with the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group companies, last week. According to officials, the ED is looking into alleged financial irregularities and collective loan diversion amounting to more than Rs. 17,000 crore by multiple companies under the Group including Reliance Infrastructure (R Infra). According to The New Indian Express, a report by SEBI allegedly disclosed via ED sources accused R‑Infra of moving approximately Rs. 10,000 crore to group companies through an undisclosed private entity named CLE Pvt Ltd – without declaring it as a related party, possibly to avoid approvals from shareholders and audit panels – under the guise of inter‑corporate deposits, equity investments and corporate guarantees. According to the report, these transactions allegedly span across the financial years of 2013 to 2023, with total exposure to CLE reported at Rs. 8,302 crore by SEBI, and write‑offs reaching Rs 10,110 crore during the financial years (FY) 2017–21. Reliance ADA Group rejects allegations The Reliance ADA Group has, however, rejected these allegations, according to the TNIE report. A spokesperson of the Reliance Group said in a statement that the allegation regarding the diversion of ₹10,000 crore to an undisclosed party was a 10-year-old matter and that the company had stated in its financial statements that its exposure was only around Rs. 6,500 crore, the HT report said. As per the statement, R Infra had already publicly disclosed this matter on February 9 this year. 'Through mandatory mediation proceedings conducted by a retired Supreme Court judge and the mediation award filed before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, Reliance Infrastructure arrived at a settlement to recover its 100 per cent exposure of ₹6,500 crore,' HT quoted the statement as saying. Per the report, the company also claimed that Anil Ambani had not been on the Board of Reliance Infrastructure for more than three years, since March 2022. The ED is also looking into allegations of illegal loan diversion of approximately Rs. 3,000 crore provided by Yes Bank to companies under the Reliance Group, Reliance Home Finance Limited and Reliance Commercial Finance Ltd, between 2017 and 2019. According to the HT report, ED officials had stated last week that Yes Bank promoters received money in their accounts just before the loan was granted to these companies.

Sri Lotus Developers IPO subscribed 74 times; beat peers Kalpataru, Keystone Realtors, Macrotech Developers
Sri Lotus Developers IPO subscription status: Bidding for the initial public offering (IPO) of Sri Lotus Developers Ltd ended on Friday, and focus has now shifted to the Sri Lotus Developers IPO allotment date, which can be announced either today or on Monday next week. The public issue received a strong response from the Indian primary market investors as it had been subscribed to around 74 times. Comparing the Sri Lotus Developers IPO subscription status with recently listed peers of the realty company, the Sri Lotus Developers IPO is far ahead of them. The extraordinary demand from institutional investors sets this Sri Lotus Developers IPO apart. The Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) category alone saw an oversubscription of 175 times, reflecting strong institutional confidence in the company's business fundamentals, project pipeline, and market positioning. Sri Lotus Developers peer Kalpataru Projects, listed on the BSE and NSE on 1 July 2025, was subscribed around 2.30 times, while its QIB portion was subscribed slightly over 3 times. Another peer, Keystone Realtors, listed on the BSE and the NSE on 24 November 2022, had been subscribed to around two times, and its QIB portion had been booked close to four times. Another peer, Macrotech Developers (Lodha), IPO listed on the BSE and NSE in April 2021, had been subscribed around 1.36 times, whereas its QIB portion had been filled slightly over 3 times. On the reasons that fueled Sri Lotus Developers' IPO subscription status, Avinash Gorakshkar, an SEBI-registered fundamental analyst, said, "Several factors have contributed to the resounding success of Lotus Developers' IPO: a mid-sized company with a focused development approach and strategic location of company projects. The market mood also fueled Sri Lotus Developers' IPO subscription status." Promoters hold a 91.78 per cent stake in Lotus Developers, and 150 public shareholders, including Bollywood stars Ashish Kacholia, NAV Capital, Dovetail Global Fund, Minerva Ventures, and Oppbasket, hold the remaining 8.22 per cent equity stake. On September 16 last year, the company had raised ₹ 139.4 crore via private placement with allotment to investors including Money Spinners, Sera Investments, Smart Algo Solutions, NAV Capital, Dovetail Global Fund, Minerva Ventures, Yantra E-Solarindia, and Oppbasket. Further, on December 14 last year, it raised ₹ 399.2 crore via another private placement to investors including Ashish Kacholia, Abundantia Capital, Astorne Capital, AARII Ventures, Topgain Finance, Turtle Crest, Aminiti Builders & Developers, DRChoksey Finserv, Jagdish N Master, and Nurture Pranay Foundation. Ashish Kacholia invested nearly ₹ 50 crore in the company for 33.33 lakh shares, while well-known names in the film industry, such as Shah Rukh Family Trust, Amitabh Bachchan, Ektaa Ravi Kapoor, Tusshar Ravi Kapoor, Jeetendra Alias Ravi Amarnath Kapoor, Tiger Jackie Shroff, Rajkumar Yadav, Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik Rakesh Roshan, Sajid Suleman Nadiadwala, and Manoj Bajpayee picked 19.28 lakh shares in Lotus Developers for ₹ 28.92 crore. Anand Kamalnayan Pandit-promoted company will use ₹ 550 crore of IPO proceeds to partially fund the development and construction costs of ongoing projects, Amalfi, The Arcadian, and Varun, by subsidiaries Richfeel Real Estate, Dhyan Projects, and Tryksha Real Estate, respectively. The remainder of the funds will be used for general corporate purposes. Disclaimer: The views and recommendations made above are those of individual analysts or broking companies, and not of Mint.
