Jay Shah's business dealings came under media radar in October 2017, when The Wire published a story alleging his company's revenue rose from Rs 50,000 to over Rs 80,00,00,000 in a single year. The report claimed that unsecured and secured loans to the company, including the Rs 10.35 crore from Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) - a public sector enterprise - contributed to the firm's rise. The story was challenged by Jay Shah, with his legal counsel slapping a Rs 100 crore defamation suit against the website.
