The connection between Refex Industries and Gensol Engineering is not just a random business deal it traces back to a tight knit relationship between their promoters and a failed attempt to bail out Gensol from its mounting debt crisis
The smoking gun is a specific transaction in early 2025 that was announced and then abruptly cancelled when regulatory heat increased
The Rescue Act Chronology
1 The Personal Link The Foundation The Players Anmol Singh Jaggi Promoter of Gensol and BluSmart and Anil Jain MD of Refex Industries
The Connection Anil Jain was an early angel investor in BluSmart the ride hailing app founded by the Jaggi brothers
The Business Refex Industries via its subsidiary Refex Green Mobility was already a vendor to BluSmart leasing over 1000 electric cars to them This created a symbiotic relationship Gensol made the cars allegedly and Refex leased them to the Jaggi brothers other company BluSmart
2 The Bailout Attempt January 16 2025 The Crisis By late 2024 Gensol was drowning in debt and facing questions about missing EV assets They needed to get debt off their books fast
The Deal Gensol announced it would sell 2997 EVs to Refex Green Mobility
The Catch Refex would not just pay cash they agreed to take over 315 Crore of Gensol loan liabilities
The Optic This would have instantly cleaned up Gensol balance sheet making it look debt light to investors Gensol stock jumped 7 percent on this news
3 The Cancellation and SEBI Probe March 28 2025 The Trigger SEBI investigation deepened The regulator found that Gensol had taken loans for 6400 cars but only physically bought 4704 The missing cars were a major red flag
The U Turn On March 28 just days before the SEBI interim order Refex and Gensol mutually cancelled the deal
The Result Refex walked away safe Gensol was left holding the toxic debt and the ghost assets Gensol stock crashed 5 percent immediately
The Verdict Is Refex Dirty While Gensol is the primary offender accused of fraud diversion Refex role raises valid concerns about Capital Allocation
The Friendly Risk Refex management was willing to take on 300Cr plus of debt from a related party where their MD is an investor just to help them out This is a classic Corporate Governance yellow flag using public company money to help a friend distressed company
The Saver To their credit Refex did back out before the deal closed protecting their shareholders from the actual loss This suggests they have a kill switch when risks get too high unlike Gensol
Actionable Insight for You
Gensol Uninvestable The missing cars and SEBI ban on promoters are fatal flaws
Refex Watch with Caution They are not fraudulent like Gensol but their willingness to entertain such a risky deal suggests their Board might be too cozy with the Jaggi ecosystem If you own Refex monitor their Related Party Transactions closely in the next quarterly report
