How do I buy PDRL (AeroMegh) unlisted shares here?

Raise an enquiry on any company with the quantity you want. Our desk sources the shares and comes back with a firm price and allocation. You accept the allocation, transfer the funds to the desk's published bank account, and once we verify payment the shares are transferred into your demat.

Who am I actually transacting with?

You transact with the desk, not with an anonymous counterparty. When you buy, you buy from the desk; when you sell, you sell to the desk. Shares always route through the desk's own demat account, so there's one accountable party for the whole trade.

How do I pay, and is there a payment gateway?

Payment is by direct bank transfer to Prospire Network Private Limited's published account (CIN U82300UP2025PTC233622), shown to you in-app at the payment step. There is no card gateway and no escrow. Never pay to a personal account or to any account shared over phone, WhatsApp or email — even if the person claims to be from our team.

How long does settlement take?

After you accept an allocation, you have a short window to pay (typically 2 days). Once payment is verified, shares are usually credited to your demat within 2–3 business days, subject to depository timelines and any company-level restrictions. Timeframes are typical, not guaranteed.

There are no separate platform fee lines and no GST on the transfer — the desk's margin is built into the buy/sell price you're quoted. The only statutory add-on on a purchase is stamp duty on the consideration, shown transparently in your cost breakdown.

Is there a minimum ticket size for PDRL (AeroMegh)?

Minimums vary by company and depend on the lot the desk can source. Raise an enquiry and the desk will confirm the available quantity and the minimum for that name.

What KYC do I need, and do I need a demat account?

You'll share your demat details when you enquire so we can settle directly. Full KYC — PAN and a client-master / demat statement — is required before the transfer step, when shares actually change hands. Yes, you need an active demat account to hold unlisted shares.

Are there lock-ins on unlisted or pre-IPO shares?

Some shares carry statutory or company-imposed lock-ins — for example, a post-listing lock-in on pre-IPO stock — and transfers can be subject to the company's articles or approvals. Where a lock-in applies, we'll flag it before you commit.

How do I sell PDRL (AeroMegh) shares I already hold?

Raise a sell enquiry with the company, quantity and your target price. The desk confirms a buying price, you transfer your shares into the desk's demat, and once the credit is verified we pay you out by bank transfer to your registered account. The desk never pays out before your shares are received.

Unlisted shares are illiquid, may be hard or impossible to sell, and are not covered by exchange settlement guarantees or investor-protection funds. Pricing is indicative, not live. Read the full Risk Disclosure before you enquire, and invest only what you can afford to lock away.

Investment Thesis

Passenger Drone Research Private Limited (Aeromegh) is a promising Nashik-based drone technology startup operating in India's rapidly growing drone sector. With strong government policy support, a large agricultural addressable market, and first-mover positioning in aerial analytics, PDRL has significant upside potential. However, as an early-stage, unlisted startup with undisclosed financials and intense competition, it carries substantial risk. This is a venture-stage opportunity requiring investors to have a high risk tolerance and long-term horizon.

Pros

Operating under the brand 'Aeromegh' — a drone technology startup with operations in drone manufacturing, aerial survey, and agricultural drone analytics, a high-growth segment in India
Strong government tailwinds: India's PLI scheme for drones (2021), Drone Rules 2021 liberalizing airspace, and the Drone Shakti initiative make this sector a priority for DPIIT and the Government of India
Nashik is emerging as a defense and aerospace manufacturing hub (HAL Nashik, OFB), providing ecosystem advantages for a drone technology company
Agricultural drone services (precision spraying, aerial surveys for crop health) address India's 150+ million hectare farmland opportunity — a massive addressable market
Early mover advantage in Indian drone technology with potential to scale across agricultural, surveillance, logistics, and mapping verticals

Cons

Early-stage startup (incorporated 2018) with uncertain path to profitability and no publicly disclosed revenue or financial metrics
India's drone sector is increasingly crowded with well-funded competitors including ideaForge Technology (listed), Garuda Aerospace, TechEagle, Skye Air, and General Aeronautics
Regulatory complexity: drone operations in India are governed by DGCA Drone Rules 2021, Digital Sky platform, and restricted airspace near borders and sensitive areas
No share price data publicly available — valuation and liquidity are completely opaque
Dependence on government contracts and subsidies (especially in agriculture) creates revenue concentration and policy-change risk

Business Segments

Agricultural Drone Solutions

Drone-based precision agriculture services including crop health monitoring using multispectral imaging, yield estimation analytics, and precision spraying drone products for farmers and agribusinesses

Aerial Survey & Mapping

Drone-based topographic survey, 3D mapping, infrastructure inspection, and GIS analytics for government agencies, infrastructure companies, and real estate developers

Drone Manufacturing & Sales

Design and manufacturing of fixed-wing and multi-rotor drones for survey, agriculture, and surveillance applications sold to enterprise customers and government entities

Revenue Model

Aeromegh (PDRL) generates revenue through a combination of drone-as-a-service (DaaS) contracts for agricultural analytics, project-based aerial survey and mapping engagements, and direct drone hardware sales. Agricultural services are offered on a per-acre or seasonal subscription model to farmer producer organizations (FPOs), state agriculture departments, and agribusinesses. Survey and mapping revenues come from project-based government and infrastructure client contracts. The company likely also pursues government grants and startup funding to supplement early-stage operational revenues.

Frequently Asked Questions

About PDRL (AeroMegh)

Passenger Drone Research Private Limited, widely known by its commercial brands PDRL and AeroMegh, is a pioneering Indian drone technology company incorporated in October 2018. Based in Nashik, Maharashtra, the company has positioned itself at the forefront of India's rapidly evolving drone ecosystem, transforming raw drone-captured data into actionable intelligence for multiple industries. PDRL operates through two flagship product lines: AeroGCS (Ground Control Station software for drone mission planning and management) and AeroMegh (a cloud-based platform for drone data processing, analytics, and actionable insights). Together, these platforms address the full drone operations value chain — from flight planning and execution to data analysis and reporting. The company serves customers in agriculture (crop monitoring, spraying), construction (site surveys), infrastructure (power line inspection), mining, and government sectors. PDRL's technology enables clients to extract measurable economic value from drone operations, whether through precision agriculture yield improvements, reduced manual survey costs, or real-time infrastructure monitoring. Incorporated with authorized capital of ₹3.50 Crore and paid-up capital of ₹1.91 Crore, PDRL achieved revenues of ₹5.04 Crore for FY2024, reflecting a remarkable 167% CAGR over the prior year — one of the highest growth rates in India's drone sector. This growth validates the company's product-market fit in a market expected to reach $1.8 billion by 2030. PDRL has been recognized as a leading DroneTech products company by industry stakeholders. The Indian government's progressive drone policy (Drone Rules 2021, PLI scheme for drones) has created significant tailwinds for PDRL's growth. The company's platform approach — selling software and data analytics rather than just hardware — positions it for higher-margin, recurring revenue as it scales. Key leadership includes director Chandramauli Kripashankar Dwivedi and Vishal Ambadas Dharankar, who bring technical and operational expertise to guide the company through its growth phase. PDRL has built a reputation as an innovative, India-first drone software company with global deployment potential.
