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.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The aim is to effectively prevent theft, crimes against women, and offences involving drug addicts, while also ensuring the safety of commercial establishments, residents living alone, and senior citizens. To strengthen this, a group of 50-100 houses was formed, and security guards were appointed to patrol their assigned areas between 10pm and 6am. Already, 10 groups are functioning. If they come across any suspicious person or incident, they must immediately inform the beat police or the District Police Control Room. The remuneration for the appointed security guards will be borne by the residents. Currently, the Drishti Project has been launched in 12 locations, two each in the Udupi Town, Shirva, and Gangolli police station limits, and one each in the limits of Kundapur, Hebri, Karkala Town, Hiriyadka, Shankaranarayana, and Brahmavar police stations. In the coming days, the programme will be extended to 21 more locations across the district, the SP said. As a continuation of this initiative, Udupi District police, in collaboration with the Udupi District Chamber of Commerce, has planned an ambitious project to install 601 CCTV cameras at 207 junctions and border roads across the district. The estimated cost of this project is around Rs 2.5 crore. The project is called Syena Drishti. In the initial phase, 10 Automatic Number Plate Reader cameras will be installed at the district borders, locations prone to communal tension, and strategic points such as Mala, Hosmaru, and Sacharipete in Karkala Rural police station limits, Sanur in Karkala Town police station limits, Someshwara in Hebri police limits, Amasabailu in Amasebail police station limits, Hosangadi and Dali in Kollur Police station limits, Mel Gangolli in Gangolli police station limits, Malpe Beach in Malpe police station limits, and Udupi City Bus Stand in Udupi Town police station limits.
