Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Promoters’ experience: The promoters' five decades of experience in tea processing machinery have enabled the company to continuously innovate and develop new products. This engineering expertise also facilitated their diversification into module mounting structures (MMS).

Weaknesses

Moderate financial risk: The financial risk profile is moderate, bolstered by an estimated net worth of Rs 76 crore, as on 31st Mar’23, sustained by consistent additions to reserves and unsecured loans from promoters, which are considered 75% equity and 25% debt.

Intense working capital: Working capital operations are intensive, with expected gross current assets (GCA) of 380-400 days, driven by work-in-progress (WIP) inventory at 385 days and receivables at 73 days as of March 31, 2023. Any further stretch in the working capital cycle could limit financial flexibility and liquidity.

FAQs – Buying Unlisted Shares

What are unlisted shares?+

Unlisted shares are stocks of companies that are not listed on any stock exchange like NSE or BSE. They are traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market through dealers, brokers, and private transactions.

How is the price of an unlisted share decided?+

Unlike listed shares, there’s no central marketplace or live order book. Prices are based on demand and supply, dealer quotes, and recent transaction trends. This leads to price fragmentation — different dealers can quote very different prices for the same stock.

Why should I compare prices before buying?+

Because the same share can be available at a 5–20% price difference depending on the dealer. Not comparing means you could be paying a premium for no reason — directly impacting your returns.

Is buying unlisted shares risky?+

Yes, like any investment, unlisted shares carry risks — including liquidity risk (harder to sell), company performance risk, and price transparency issues. Comparing prices helps reduce one avoidable risk — overpaying.

How can I know if the price I’m getting is fair?+

You can check recent transaction prices, ask multiple dealers, and soon — use our price comparison platform to instantly see live market quotes.

What documents are required to buy unlisted shares?+

Typically: PAN Card Demat Account details KYC documents (address proof, ID proof)

How do I sell unlisted shares?+

You can sell them via a dealer, private buyer, or once the company gets listed on a stock exchange. Having access to multiple dealer quotes helps you get the best selling price.

Can dealers lose business if they don’t offer the best price?+

Absolutely. If an investor finds a better price elsewhere, they’ll switch — often for good. That’s why transparent pricing protects both investors and dealers.

How soon will I receive the shares after purchase?+

Usually within T+2 to T+7 days after payment and documentation, depending on the dealer and the company’s transfer process.

Do I need to be an accredited investor to buy unlisted shares?+

No, but you must meet the regulatory requirements under SEBI guidelines and have a valid Demat account.
