Thu Apr 17 11:24:22 UTC 2025: ## EV Cab Service BluSmart Shuts Down Amidst Gensol Probe
**NEW DELHI, [Date]** – BluSmart, a prominent electric vehicle (EV) cab service, has abruptly ceased operations less than a year after securing Rs 200 crore in funding. The shutdown comes amidst a Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) investigation into Gensol, a car leasing company with ties to BluSmart. The funding round, which took place in July 2024, included high-profile investors such as former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni. While the exact nature of the connection between the SEBI investigation and BluSmart’s closure remains unclear, the sudden development highlights the challenges facing the burgeoning EV sector in India. Further details regarding the company’s future and the impact on its employees and customers are awaited.
