Gold ETFs back in focus
New Delhi: After a two-month outflow, Gold Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) experienced a net inflow of Rs 292 crore in May driven by resilient gold prices and sustained global uncertainties.
The inflow led to an expansion in the category's assets under management to Rs 62,453 crore in May from Rs 61,422 crore in April, latest data with the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) showed. Going by the data, Gold ETFs witnessed an inflow to the tune of Rs 292 crore last month, marking an improvement from outflow of Rs 6 crore in April and Rs 77 crore in March. "The renewed traction in May signals a gradual return of investor interest, likely driven by resilient gold prices and sustained global uncertainties that reinforce gold's appeal as a strategic hedge," Nehal Meshram, Senior Analyst – Manager Research at Morningstar Investment Research India, said.

Gensol insolvency: NCLT admits Ireda's plea on ₹510 crore default
Gensol Engineering, which managed electric-car ride-hailing platform BluSmart, was admitted to the insolvency process on Friday following a plea by the Indian Renewable Development Agency (Ireda). Ireda had moved the National Company Law Tribunal's Ahmedabad Bench, citing a default of Rs 510 crore. The matter was filed under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which outlines the initiation of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) on a plea moved by a financial creditor or lender. A coram ('in the presence of') of Judicial Member Shammi Khan and Technical Member Sanjeev Kumar, however, said they were not appointing the resolution professional suggested by Ireda. Ireda's lawyer had urged the tribunal to make an appointment to look after the company, saying Gensol was 'headless' after its promoters allegedly were missing amid regulatory scrutiny. 'By virtue of Sebi's (Securities and Exchange Board of India) order, the company is now headless. Directors have walked out and the company has projects worth crores of rupees. Somebody needs to manage the show,' the lawyer told the Bench. The financial creditor also alleged a breakdown of internal controls and corporate governance norms at Gensol, accusing the promoters of running the listed firm as if it were their proprietary firm. BluSmart on April 16 had paused cab bookings in certain parts of Delhi-National Capital Region, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, the three cities where it operates. The rides were halted a day after Sebi debarred the promoters and directors of Gensol Engineering — Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi — from accessing the securities markets allegedly for fraudulent practices and funds.
