Debock Industries Ltd: From Racecourse to Resorts — Between Business Dreams and Regulatory Scrutiny.
~Sumon Mukhopadhyay.
Company Overview:
The company has expanded beyond its core agriculture focus into other sectors through the broader Debock Group, which oversees various business interests. As of August 2025, the company reports a small market capitalization of approximately ₹31.4 crore, with around 10 employees. Recent financial results for Q1 FY2025 were approved by the board on August 14, 2025, though detailed figures indicate ongoing challenges, including negative profits of -₹21.1 crore in recent periods.
Current Business Verticals:
Based on the company’s official website and recent disclosures, Debock Industries operates across several verticals under the Debock Group umbrella:
🔹Agriculture Products: Manufacturing and supplying low-cost, technology-based agricultural equipment and spares, such as tractor trolleys, threshers, ploughs, harrows, tankers, and cultivators. This division targets Indian farmers and operates through a unit in Deoli Tonk, Rajasthan.
🔹Hospitality: Includes hotels and resorts in Rajasthan, focusing on providing comfortable accommodations for travelers and wedding destinations. Key properties are Hotel Debock Inn in Tonk and the Riyasat by Debock Resort in Chaksu.
🔹Mining: Involves granite, marble, and other mineral extraction and manufacturing. The company has a marble/granite processing plant near Kishangarh on the Jaipur-Ajmer expressway, equipped with modern machinery.
🔹Sales and Marketing: Provides strategies to enhance client businesses, including mutual benefit-focused services.
🔹Real Estate and Infrastructure Development: Develops residential and commercial projects, with over 10 million sq. ft. delivered and more than 5 million sq. ft. under development nationwide, emphasizing modern designs and convenient locations.
🔹Other Interests: The group has mentioned involvement in education (plans for an institution in Chaksu) and potentially online casinos/gambling, though the latter appears limited to partnerships rather than core operations.
Status of Granite Mining Operations:
Debock Industries acquired granite mines in Rajasthan in August 2022 as part of its diversification strategy, aiming to enter a new revenue vertical with high global demand for granite. The acquisition process commenced, and projections from 2022 anticipated that mining could contribute nearly half of FY2024 revenues.
However, as of August 2025, there is no publicly available confirmation that active mining operations have started at these granite sites. Company announcements and financial filings from 2025 do not detail operational commencement, and the focus remains on acquisition and processing rather than extraction updates. The mining vertical is listed as ongoing, but operational status appears preparatory or delayed amid broader company challenges.
Status of Hotels and Resorts:
The company operates two main hospitality properties: Hotel Debock Inn in Tonk and the Riyasat by Debock Resort in Chaksu. The Hotel Debock Inn continues to be referenced positively in testimonials for its facilities and food quality, indicating it remains operational.
The Riyasat by Debock Resort, a 50-acre luxury wedding destination launched in November 2024, features 125 designer villas, a 200-room hotel, a man-made lake, three marriage gardens, two banquet halls, and a racecourse for royal-style events. It was projected to achieve a 20% profit margin.
Both properties are still listed as part of the hospitality vertical on the company’s website and in recent overviews. However, following Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids in July 2025, the Riyasat resort has come under significant scrutiny.
The ED alleges that the resort was funded through misappropriated investor funds from a ₹49.09 crore rights issue, leading to seizures including a helicopter on the premises, ₹78 lakh in cash, and luxury cars.
As of August 2025, there are no reports of closure or sale of either property, but the ongoing investigation into fund diversion and a broader ₹100 crore financial fraud may impact future operations.
The Shiv Sena Connection: The Dainik Bhaskar writes: The owner of Debock Group, Mukesh Manveer (Manveer Singh alias Mukesh Mahawar), had also contested the parliamentary elections on a Shiv Sena ticket. Even after film actress Rakhi Sawant campaigned for him, Mukesh managed to secure only 4,900 votes.
Offices of Two Companies Found at the Same Address:
According to ED sources, the raids began on the morning of July 4 at the office and residence of Debock Industries owner Mukesh Manvir Singh, along with the residences of Naturo Agrotech India Limited promoters Gaurav Jain and Jyoti Chaudhary, and their associates.
It was found that the offices of Debock Industries Ltd and Naturo Agrotech India Ltd were operating from the same address. During the raids in Jaipur and Kota, the ED recovered documents and electronic devices.
Overview of Enforcement Directorate (ED) Raids:
🔹Date: Raids commenced on July 4, 2025, extending to July 6, 2025.
Background and Triggers:
The ED’s probe was initiated following:
🔹An FIR filed by Rajasthan Police against Abhishek Khandelwal, Najiya Bano, and others.
🔹A SEBI prosecution complaint in August 2024 against Debock Industries, Mukesh Manveer Singh, Sunil Kalot, and Priyanka Sharma for financial irregularities.
🔹Allegations of misuse of a ₹49.09 crore rights issue floated in June 2023, diverted for personal enrichment.
Regulatory Context:
Impact and Significance:
The ED action is one of the most significant stock market fraud crackdowns in Rajasthan. The case highlights investor risks from manipulated rights issues and fraudulent practices.
Debock’s reputation has been severely damaged, with shares down 72.5% over the past year. The Riyasat resort, once seen as a symbol of expansion, is now central to allegations of misused funds, putting its future viability in doubt.
