Gensol Engineering has been admitted to insolvency by the NCLT Ahmedabad on a plea from IREDA.
An interim resolution professional is expected to be chosen for the corporate insolvency resolution process.
Troubles for Gensol started when SEBI barred its promoters from the securities market, citing fund diversion in an electric vehicle purchase scheme.
SEBI reported that Gensol raised ₹975 crore for 6,400 electric vehicles but bought only 4,704 units for ₹567.73 crore, leaving over ₹200 crore unaccounted for.
Credit rating agencies downgraded Rs 2,050 crore of Gensol's debt to default status, leading to further scrutiny.
Gensol submitted fabricated debt servicing conduct letters, prompting the appointment of a forensic auditor to examine its financial records.
Despite early defaults, Gensol falsely claimed regular payments to rating agencies.
Actions required include halting a stock split and thorough scrutiny of accounts and related parties.
A detailed order from NCLT on Gensol's insolvency case is pending.
IREDA and Power Finance Corp confirmed that no conduct letters were issued to Gensol as falsely claimed.
An ongoing investigation reveals discrepancies in Gensol's financial dealings.
The company's insolvency marks a significant development in its financial instability and regulatory issues.
