Bathla Group Administration

What happened to Bathla Group?

Teneo’s portal records voluntary administrators being appointed on 25 August 2026 to Universal Property Group Pty Limited, Raj & Jai Construction Pty Limited and associated Bathla companies. Check the legal entity on your contract; the group name alone does not identify your debtor. Teneo portal, checked 5 September 2026.

The named practitioners are Stephen Longley, Daniel Walley, Adam Colley, Andrew Scott and Rebecca Gill, of Teneo Financial Advisory Australia Pty Ltd. Source B1.

What is the latest verified update?

ABC’s 4 September report describes the first creditors’ meeting and preliminary claims of about $3.4 billion, including around $130 million owed to other unsecured creditors. These are reported estimates, not a final admitted-claims total or a payment forecast. ABC report, checked 5 September 2026.

ABC also reported discussions with five lenders and a Monday morning funding target : 7 September 2026. This review does not establish the outcome. That funding target is not a creditor claim deadline. Source B2.

Is Bathla Group in liquidation?

The sources checked on 5 September record a voluntary administration appointment; they do not establish a group-wide move into liquidation. Do not assume that every related entity or project has the same status. Read the latest notice for the company that owes you money. Teneo portal.

Administration and liquidation are different processes. Read what administration means for creditors.

Which dates matter?

Bathla owes my business money. What should I gather?

Start a claim file that connects your work or supply to the exact contracting company. These are practical preparation steps, not a substitute for Teneo’s required forms.

• Contract, subcontract or purchase order, including the company name and any ABN or ACN shown.
• Unpaid invoices, account statements and a reconciliation of payments already received.
• Progress claims, approved variations and retention records.
• Delivery dockets, timesheets or evidence of completed work.
• Correspondence about the account and any disputed amounts.
• Details of goods remaining on site, any security and relevant PPSR records.

Keep copies. Do not upload contracts, bank details or tax records to this website. If your position involves security, property on site or time-sensitive rights, obtain individual advice before acting.

Do I need to lodge a proof of debt?

Use Teneo’s current instructions for your entity and the relevant meeting or claim process. ASIC explains that participation in voting involves providing claim details and, where applicable, proxy documents. Preparing invoices alone does not establish that your claim has been lodged or accepted. ASIC guidance.

The portal links an initial notice, creditor FAQ and court material. Their contents could not be verified in this review, so this page does not reproduce a form, lodgement address or deadline. Open Teneo’s official creditor documents.

Will I get paid?

We cannot tell you how much of your claim will be paid, or when. The reported group debt figures do not establish the outcome for your invoices. Use the administrators’ updates for the company that owes you money, and keep any payment forecast separate from money you have actually received.

Should I keep working or supplying materials?

Do not treat reports about funding at some sites as an assurance that your new work or old invoices will be paid.

Ask the party requesting new work to confirm the contracting entity, authority and payment arrangements in writing, and obtain advice where needed. Your creditor claim and a proposed new supply arrangement need separate attention.

Can I continue legal action?

ASIC says unsecured creditors generally need the administrator’s consent or the court’s permission to begin, continue or enforce claims during voluntary administration. Seek advice about your particular proceedings, security or deadlines. ASIC guidance.

What if the debt is affecting my own business?

Make a separate list of upcoming supplier, wage, tax and finance payments. Your own cash-flow position needs attention even while the creditor process continues. Read about business pressure after a major unpaid debt.
