Oil & Gas – Manthan – The Pike Syndrome & MRPL | Time to invest?
Published on 10 Aug 2026
The Pike Syndrome is a psychological study which shows how forced helplessness can be manifested in human behaviour. A pike fish in a fish tank is separated from prey fish by placing a glass barrier. Initially, the pike fish tries to reach the prey but after repeatedly hitting the glass, learns that it can never reach the food. Even after the glass barrier is removed, the pike fish does not try to reach the prey and starts starving to death.
We see similar instances in investments too where repeated disappointments often lead to investors staying away from certain stocks even if there is a drastic change in the fundamentals. Could MRPL prove investors wrong this time? Read our report to know more.
