Power Finance Corporation disbursed Rs.352 crore to Gensol Engineering for EV leasing in 2023. Rs.307 crore remains unpaid. Investigations are underway following document forgery claims, credit downgrades, and debt servicing delays, impacting Gensol Engineering share price performance.
Power Finance Corporation (PFC) has initiated internal and legal action after Gensol Engineering failed to repay Rs.307 crore of a Rs.352 crore disbursed loan. The funds, sanctioned for leasing electric vehicles to BluSmart Mobility in 2023, have faced repayment delays, triggering scrutiny and formal complaints. PFC has approached the Economic Offences Wing citing forged documentation and irregularities in debt servicing, marking a major development in its EV financing portfolio.
The disbursement was part of a Rs.633 crore package to support EV deployment, with Rs.587 crore allocated for 5,000 four-wheelers and Rs.46 crore for 1,000 electric three-wheelers. However, only the four-wheeler loan was partially utilised.

Action Taken: PFC filed complaint over forged documents and activated fraud policy review.

Repayment on the loan had commenced with Rs.45 crore repaid by Gensol Engineering. However, in Q4 FY24, delays emerged. By February and March, PFC had to invoke the Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) to service dues.
Meanwhile, rating agencies CARE and ICRA downgraded Gensol’s long-term loans to default due to persistent delays and the account's classification under special mention account (SMA) status.
PFC holds multiple safeguards against the default risk:
Pledged equity shares of Gensol Engineering
Non-convertible debentures
Corporate guarantee from Gensol Ventures Pvt Ltd
Personal guarantees from promoters
Lien-marked fixed deposit by BluSmart
Trust retention and DSRA balances
Despite these, Rs.307 crore remains overdue, casting uncertainty over fund recovery and affecting Gensol Engineering share price trends in recent sessions.
