The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
A criminal case alleging diversion of EV-financing loans can freeze access to debt and equity, trigger lender recoveries, impair fleet expansion and undermine rider, driver and corporate-client confidence. If the allegations are substantiated, BluSmart/Gensol could face asset seizures, cash-flow stress, governance overhaul and a potentially existential funding gap.
