Gensol Engineering Ltd. hit the lower circuit for the second consecutive day on Tuesday after the promoters infused Rs 28 crore in the firm through the conversion of warrants into equity.

These warrants would subsequently be converted into 4.43 equity shares at a price of Rs 871 per share, according to the exchange filling on Monday.

Gensol Engineering recently witnessed a sale of approximately 2.37% of the company's total equity shares by its promoters, to the tune of 9 lakh shares. The sale aimed at unlocking liquidity and reinforcing the company's financial foundation, as per an exchange filing on Friday. Despite the sale, the promoters continue to hold a controlling 59.70% stake in Gensol.

This comes on the heels of the company's recent challenges, with credit rating agencies ICRA and Care Ratings downgrading Rs 2,050 crore of Gensol's debt — over Rs 1,640 crore in long term and over Rs 400 crore in short term debt facilities — to default status.
