How do I buy Pratibha Industries 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 Pratibha Industries?

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 Pratibha Industries 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

Pratibha Industries Limited is a specialised water and environment engineering infrastructure company with deep domain expertise built over four decades. Despite strong sector tailwinds from government water infrastructure spending, the company's ₹2 share price signals significant financial distress, likely stemming from historical debt accumulation and project execution challenges. Investors must undertake thorough due diligence on current debt status, bank relationships, ongoing contracts, and NCLT proceedings before any investment consideration.

Pros

ISIN confirmed (INE916H01010) — shares are formally identifiable in India's NSDL/CDSL depository system, enabling structured share transfers
Specialises in water supply and environment engineering — a sector with growing government spending under Jal Jeevan Mission and AMRUT schemes
Promoter Mr. Ajit Kulkarni brings sector-specific expertise in infrastructure development for water and urban projects, providing domain-focused leadership
India's massive urbanisation is driving sustained demand for water supply infrastructure, sewage treatment, and urban civil engineering services
Long operational history since incorporation (1982) with expertise in complex water supply and environment engineering projects

Cons

Share price at just ₹2 is a critical warning sign — likely reflects past financial stress, debt challenges, or operational difficulties faced by the company
Pratibha Industries was a previously listed company that went through significant financial restructuring; its delisting and current unlisted status reflect past corporate distress
Infrastructure construction companies carry high working capital requirements; government project payment delays create severe cash flow strain
Competition in water supply and urban infrastructure is intense from large EPC players like L&T, NCC, and Welspun Enterprises
High debt levels historically associated with the company may continue to limit financial flexibility and new contract tendering

Frequently Asked Questions

About Pratibha Industries

Pratibha Industries Limited was one of India's prominent infrastructure and construction companies headquartered in Chembur, Mumbai, Maharashtra. The company was incorporated in 1995 and grew to become a significant player in the execution of complex and integrated water transmission and distribution projects, water treatment plants, elevated and underground reservoirs, mass housing projects, commercial complexes, and road construction across India and overseas. Pratibha Industries built a reputation for delivering large-scale civil engineering projects for government bodies, municipalities, and private sector clients. Its portfolio included projects for urban water supply systems — a critical sector given India's growing demand for clean water infrastructure. The company established zonal offices in Delhi and Hyderabad and also maintained an overseas presence in Dubai, reflecting its ambition to expand beyond domestic boundaries. The company also had a precast concrete division, enabling it to offer design-and-build solutions for infrastructure projects at scale. Its mass housing division participated in government-sponsored affordable housing schemes. At its peak, Pratibha Industries commanded an order book exceeding several thousand crore rupees and was considered a mid-tier infrastructure giant with listed status on BSE and NSE. However, the company encountered severe financial distress in the mid-2010s, driven by stretched working capital, project delays, and aggressive bidding. The business deteriorated significantly, leading to defaults on debt obligations. After years of restructuring attempts failed, the Hon'ble NCLT Mumbai Bench ordered the liquidation of Pratibha Industries Limited on 8th February 2021, initiating formal insolvency proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). As of 2023-2024, Pratibha Industries remained non-cooperative with CRISIL Ratings, which had been attempting to obtain updated information for rating purposes. CRISIL continued to follow up without response through 2024, reflecting the company's operational suspension. The last AGM was held on 29 September 2017, and the balance sheet has not been filed since. The company's assets are currently being managed by a liquidator appointed by NCLT.
