Indian ride-hailing startup BluSmart swept up in Gensol investigation alleging misuse of EV loans | TechCrunch
Briefly

India's market regulator, SEBI, has launched an investigation into Gensol Engineering and its co-founders, the Jaggi brothers, amid allegations of misusing funds intended for electric vehicle purchases. The investigation also implicates BluSmart, a startup linked to Gensol. SEBI's interim order prohibits the Jaggis from holding key positions or participating in the securities market pending the outcome. Allegations include redirection of substantial loans for personal expenditures, such as the purchase of luxury real estate, rather than the intended acquisition of electric vehicles for leasing to BluSmart.
