Gensol Engineering shares hit 5% upper circuit for 3rd day. Here's why
hit the 5% upper circuit for the third consecutive session on Thursday, following the resignations of Managing Director
Anmol Singh Jaggi
and Whole-time Director Puneet Singh Jaggi earlier this week. The resignations, effective from the close of business on May 12, were made in compliance with SEBI's interim order.
Last month, SEBI barred the Jaggi brothers from accessing the securities market until further notice, alleging they siphoned off loan funds from Gensol for personal use. The allegations raised serious concerns around
corporate governance
and financial misconduct.

IREDA files insolvency plea
In a fresh development on May 14, the
Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency
(IREDA) filed an
insolvency petition
against Gensol Engineering over a loan default of Rs 510 crore. The plea was filed under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, IREDA said in a regulatory filing.
Gensol had borrowed Rs 977.75 crore from IREDA and
Power Finance Corporation
(PFC), of which Rs 663.89 crore was earmarked for the purchase of
electric vehicles
for BluSmart, the EV ride-hailing platform co-founded by Anmol Singh Jaggi.

In April, both lenders filed complaints with the Economic Offences Wing, alleging that Gensol falsified documents related to loan repayments. The Enforcement Directorate subsequently raided the company's premises, seizing documents and electronic devices, while SEBI ordered a forensic audit.
SEBI's order alleged that the Jaggi brothers diverted company funds for personal luxury purchases and failed to meet loan obligations, including those linked to BluSmart's EV fleet.
Of the Rs 978 crore sanctioned to finance 6,400 electric vehicles, only 4,700—worth Rs 567 crore—were delivered, leaving Rs 262 crore unaccounted for.
According to SEBI, the excess funds were diverted into unrelated transactions, including real estate investments and payments to entities connected to the promoters.
Gensol's stock has plunged over 93% in the past year and 55% in the last month alone.

Ahmedabad: A 50-year-old businessman from Shahibaug area of the city fell prey to a cyberfraud involving a fake online trading platform and lost Rs 66.66 lakh between Jan and March this year.
