Gensol Engineering news: Why are Gensol shares falling?

The downfall in Gensol Engineering share price came amid news that credit rating agencies ICRA, and Care Ratings have downgraded ₹2,050-crore debt of Gensol Engineering to 'default' status. The action came on the back of the feedback received by these rating agencies from the company's lenders around the ongoing delays in debt servicing.

 

"While the company has delayed in its debt servicing obligations as per feedback received from the lenders, it had, in its latest public disclosures as well as in its recent communications with ICRA, highlighted sizable available liquidity to support its operations during its ongoing growth phase," rating agency ICRA pointed out.

 

We have, now, learnt that certain documents shared by Gensol Engineering with ICRA, on its debt servicing track record, were apparently falsified, which raises concerns on its corporate governance practices, including its liquidity position, the agency added. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS
