Gensol faces insolvency as IREDA moves NCLT over Rs 510 Cr loan default The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) has moved the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) against Gensol Engineering Ltd, seeking insolvency proceedings over a Rs 510 crore loan default, according to a regulatory filing made to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). As per the filing, IREDA has filed the application under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), showing a significant step in its attempt to recover dues from the Ahmedabad-based renewable energy firm. Gensol, which has been active in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for solar power projects, as well as in the electric mobility space, had taken loans amounting to over Rs 977 crore from IREDA and Power Finance Corporation (PFC). Out of Rs 977 crore, around Rs 664 crore was allocated for purchasing EVs for BluSmart, an electric ride-hailing platform co-founded by Gensol promoters Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi. This insolvency action comes just weeks after IREDA complained to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), accusing Gensol of diverting funds and submitting false documents. The agency also said the company’s promoters reduced their shareholding without informing the lender. Following the controversy, market regulator SEBI barred both Jaggi brothers from holding any executive or directorial positions in listed companies. The duo stepped down from their respective roles on May 12. Gensol, once considered a rising player in India’s green mobility and solar infra push, is now facing a potential corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP), subject to admission by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
