IREDA declared Gensol Engineering and its EV unit as fraud accounts, with ₹672 crore dues, triggering recovery and insolvency proceedings after alleged misappropriation and forgery.
State-run Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) has classified the loan accounts of Gensol Engineering Ltd and its subsidiary Gensol EV Lease Ltd as fraud. The lender reported the matter to the Reserve Bank of India.
In a stock exchange filing on Friday, IREDA said the accounts were declared fraud under the RBI's Master Direction on Fraud Risk Management for non-banking financial companies. The classification is based on alleged misappropriation and criminal breach of trust. For Gensol Engineering, IREDA also cited forgery.
Gensol Engineering's outstanding dues stand at ₹453.77 crore. Gensol EV Lease owes ₹218.97 crore. IREDA has already made provisions covering 85% of the outstanding amount in both accounts as of March 31, 2026.
The fraud classification follows a series of regulatory actions against Gensol. In April 2025, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued an interim order alleging diversion of company funds and falsification of documents submitted to lenders. SEBI barred promoters Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi from holding key managerial positions and from accessing the securities market.
The SEBI investigation was triggered after credit rating agencies CARE Ratings and ICRA downgraded Gensol's debt to default grade in March 2025. The agencies cited delays in debt servicing and concerns that documents furnished by the company regarding its repayment record had been falsified. SEBI later found prima facie evidence that conduct letters purportedly issued by IREDA and Power Finance Corporation (PFC) had been forged.
IREDA has initiated recovery proceedings against the Gensol entities before the Debt Recovery Tribunal. It has also filed insolvency proceedings against Gensol Engineering to recover its dues.
The classification escalates the regulatory pressure on Gensol. The company is already barred from accessing capital markets under SEBI's interim order. No other lender has publicly taken similar action.
IREDA has already made provisions for 85% of the outstanding. The recovery and insolvency processes are underway.
