What happened (CBI registered a case)

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a criminal case involving Gensol Engineering Limited, Gensol EV Lease Limited, their promoters, and other accused persons/parties. The allegation in the First Information Report (FIR) is that the accused caused a loss of ₹672.74 crore to the Indian Renewable Development Agency (IREDA). The FIR names Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi, co-founders of BluSmart, along with the entities involved.

Background and earlier position (renewable finance and institutional lending risk)

IREDA (Indian Renewable Development Agency Limited) is a renewable energy finance institution. Renewable-energy lending depends on due diligence (risk checks before lending), appraisal (evaluation of the project and borrower), end-use compliance (monitoring that funds are used for the intended purpose), and ongoing monitoring during the loan lifecycle. In cases alleging large losses to a finance institution, investigators typically examine whether due diligence and monitoring failures, misuse of disbursed funds, or non-compliance with lending conditions played a role—however, the FIR itself reflects allegations, not final proof.

What changed now (FIR names multiple entities and individuals)

The immediate change is CBI’s FIR registration alleging a loss of ₹672.74 crore to IREDA and involving the Gensol entities, promoters, and other accused persons/parties. The FIR also names Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi of BluSmart, expanding the set of named persons beyond the Gensol companies.
