IREDA approaches DRT Delhi to recover ₹729 crore from Gensol Engineering
State-owned Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency on Wednesday said it has approached the Debt Recovery Tribunal Delhi to recover about ₹ 729 crore from Gensol Engineering and Gensol EV Lease Pvt Ltd.
Earlier, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) had filed a bankruptcy application against beleaguered Gensol Engineering as well as its electric vehicle leasing unit Gensol EV Lease Ltd.
In an exchange filing, IREDA stated that it has filed an "original application under Section 19 of The Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993 before Debt Recovery Tribunal Delhi on May 20, 2025 for a default amount of ₹ 510,00,52,672 and Rs. 218.95 crore against Gensol Engineering Ltd and Gensol EV Lease Pvt Ltd respectively".
The agency on May 14 filed an application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, against Gensol Engineering Limited for the default amount of ₹ 510 crore. It also filed a bankruptcy application on May 15 against Gensol EV Lease Ltd, a subsidiary of Gensol Engineering Ltd, for a default of ₹ 218.95 crore.
Last month, in an interim order, Sebi barred Gensol Engineering and promoters -- Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi -- from the securities markets till further orders in a fund diversion and governance lapses case.
On May 12, Jaggi brothers resigned from the company following market regulator Sebi's interim order, according to an exchange filing.
Anmol Singh Jaggi held the post of Managing Director while Puneet Singh Jaggi was a Whole-time Director.
In its order on April 15, 2025, the Sebi debarred Jaggi brothers from holding the position of a director or key managerial personnel in Gensol until further orders.
The order came after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) received a complaint in June 2024 relating to the manipulation of share price and diversion of funds from GEL and thereafter started examining the matter.
In the 29-page order, Sebi had said, "The prima facie findings have shown mis-utilisation and diversion of funds of the company (GEL) in a fraudulent manner by its promoter directors, Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi, who are also the direct beneficiaries of the diverted funds".
Gensol Engineering's promoters treated the listed company as a proprietary firm, diverting corporate funds to buy a high-end apartment in The Camellias, DLF Gurgaon, splurging on a luxury golf set, paying off credit cards, and transferring money to close relatives, Sebi said in its interim order.
"The company has attempted to mislead Sebi, the CRAs (credit rating agencies), the lenders and the investors by submitting forged conduct letters purportedly issued by its lenders," the regulator had said.
The noticees 1, 2 and 3 (GEL, Anmol and Puneet Singh Jaggi) are alleged to have violated the provisions of PFUTP (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) rules, it had added.
Sebi had noted that the promoters were running a listed public company as if it were a proprietary firm. GEL's funds were routed to related parties and used for unconnected expenses as if the company's funds were promoters' piggy banks.
According to the regulator, the company secured a total of ₹ 977.75 crore in loans, of which ₹ 663.89 crore was meant specifically for the purchase of 6,400 electric vehicles (EVs). EVs were procured by the company and subsequently leased to BluSmart, a related party.
The result of these transactions would mean that the diversions at some time need to be written off from Gensol's books, ultimately resulting in losses to the investors of the company.
The internal controls at Gensol appear to be loose, and through the quick layering of transactions, funds have seamlessly flowed to multiple related entities/individuals, the regulator had said.
It had also directed the firm to appoint a forensic auditor to examine the books of accounts of Gensol and its related parties.

"RCB Should Be Sued": India World Cup Winner Slams Bengaluru Stampede Mess, Namedrops Virat Kohli
Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has strongly criticized the poor planning and crowd management during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL victory celebrations at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a stampede claimed the lives of at least 11 fans and injured several others. After RCB's long-awaited first IPL title win on June 3 in Ahmedabad, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) had organised a felicitation ceremony in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Thousands of fans gathered outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes. However, as the crowd swelled, the situation became unmanageable. Police resorted to a lathi-charge to control the crowd, leading to panic and chaos. Seven people were killed in the resulting stampede, while several others were rushed to Bowring Hospital and Vydehi Superspeciality Hospital for treatment. "People will not forget this —or Virat Kohli. While people were dying outside, there was a celebration inside. It's truly shocking and disheartening. The families of the dead should consider suing RCB and the state government for ₹100 crore for this tragic is also shirking responsibility," former Indian cricketer Madan Lal told IANS. Earlier in the day, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed the media after the incident and announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the family of the dead. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar defended the arrangements, stating, 'We had arranged for 5,000 police personnel. We couldn't use force on such a young, vibrant crowd.' The authorities have confirmed that the bodies of two persons are at Bowring Hospital and that of four others at Vaidehi Hospital. Six people are being treated in the ICU of the Vaidehi Hospital and three are admitted to the ICU. The government of Karnataka had earlier cancelled the victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, citing security reasons.

Looking ahead, orders worth ₹2.35 trillion are expected in FY26–27, which is nearly 3.1 times the combined order book of the three listed PSU shipyards. Despite a rising topline, the order books of Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL), Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), and Cochin Shipyard (CSL) have remained largely stagnant since FY19. Their combined revenue has grown from ₹8,900 crore in FY19 to ₹12,400 crore in 9MFY25 (not annualised), but execution challenges persist due to the lumpy nature of warship orders and long lead times. Ebitda margins remain volatile, driven by the complexity and evolving nature of vessel designs, with clearer cost and margin visibility only emerging at later stages of the projects. Nevertheless, there is strong order visibility for at least ₹2.12 trillion during FY26–27. This pipeline includes six P75I submarines, three Kalvari-class submarines, next-generation Corvettes, P-17B Frigates, and various smaller vessels. Additionally, a third aircraft carrier could also be part of the upcoming orders.

However, limited savings, lack of personalised financial planning, and inadequate discipline are key obstacles, according to a survey conducted by Marcellus Investment Managers and Dun & Bradstreet. The survey, which covered over 465 HNI households across 28 cities, revealed that 43 per cent of respondents save less than 20 per cent of their post-tax income. Among higher-income HNIs—those earning over ₹10 crore annually—63 per cent save more than 30 per cent of their income. Despite this, a major portion of their investments remains concentrated in real estate, indicating a skewed asset allocation.

Currently trading at ₹933, the stock has gained 5 per cent over the past month. Still, analysts see limited upside in the near term due to emerging headwinds.

The delay in Sebi's approval, according to people in the know, stemmed from ambiguity over whether a large number of public shareholders, without any prior public fundraising, violated provisions of the Companies Act. 6:59 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: US markets end mixed
