The Gensol-BluSmart saga
On 24 February, Mint first reported, citing people familiar with the developments, that Blu-Smart Mobility, Anmol Jaggi’s privately-owned electric cab-hailing service, had defaulted on Rs 30 crore worth of bonds in early February because of a cash crunch. The company subsequently paid non-convertible debenture (NCD) holders. (Even before this development, another Mint story on 4 February had spotlighted Gensol's shareholding pattern: In September 2022, Hari Shankar Tibrewala had invested in the company, part of whose stake was taken into possession by the Government of India in late 2024.) Just 10 days after we wrote about the news of Blu-Smart facing a cash crunch, things turned worse for Gensol when Care Ratings downgraded the company to default. The rating agency's action marked the start of a downward spiral for the company, which then saw its share prices crash, leading to the invocation of promoter shares and raising questions on corporate governance. Finally, on 15 April, the market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, in an interim order, minced no words when it barred the Jaggi brothers from being at the helm and ordered Gensol to undertake a forensic audit on money siphoning. Here’s a list of all these stories by Mint to understand how the company, once the poster boy of renewable energy and EV space, unravelled.
