Gensol Engineering share price in focus today: Gensol Engineering shares, which have been in a freefall since the end of February amid the ongoing crisis at the firm, managed to reverse some of their losses over the past few trading sessions. The stock hit the 5% upper circuit limit for the third straight session on Thursday, May 15, reaching ₹62.44 apiece.
Even as the state-run Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) filed an insolvency application against Gensol Engineering, optimism in the stock price followed the company’s announcement that the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) had granted it two weeks to respond to SEBI’s interim order.
On April 15, the market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in an interim order, barred Gensol’s promoters—Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi—from trading in the securities market and from holding any key managerial position in Gensol or any other listed company. SEBI also ordered a forensic audit.
The investigation found that the promoters of the cleantech firm had siphoned off loans from state-run lenders Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and IREDA for unrelated and personal expenses.
According to SEBI, between FY22 and FY24, IREDA and PFC lent Gensol ₹311.5 crore and ₹352.4 crore, respectively, to purchase electric cars for its EV-based ride-hailing business, BluSmart.
Gensol added another ₹166 crore in equity capital, bringing the total to ₹829.9 crore. However, the company reportedly bought only 4,704 cars for ₹567.7 crore—leaving ₹262.1 crore unaccounted for.
