Following its reclassification as an ‘upper-layer’ NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company), Tata Sons IPO is poised for its stock market debut by September 2025. In adherence to RBI regulations, ‘upper-layer’ NBFCs are obligated to go public within three years of notification. On September 14, 2023, the RBI designated 15 financial entities, including Tata Sons, under the ‘upper-layer’ NBFC category. Notably, another Tata Group entity, Tata Capital Financial Services, also found itself in this category but sidesteps the listing requirement due to its merger with Tata Sons.
The impending Tata Sons IPO
presents a golden opportunity for shareholders, including Tata Trust. With an estimated valuation of ₹11 lakh crore, if this prominent holding company decides to tap the public market by divesting 5 percent of its shares, the Tata Sons IPO would amass a colossal ₹55,000 crore. In essence, Tata Sons’ IPO could potentially become one of India’s most significant public offerings, if not the largest.
Jain further emphasized the likelihood of an IPO launch and share listing within the three-year timeframe, remarking, “Given the industry, sector dynamics, and investor sentiment in the sector, even sizable IPOs have been receiving strong investor interest, given the ample liquidity in both the primary and secondary markets.”
Tata Sons is the principal holding company of the Tata Group, and it holds significant stakes in various Tata Group companies, which are publicly listed entities on stock exchanges in India and around the world.
The Tata Group includes a diverse range of companies operating in sectors such as automobiles, steel, information technology, telecommunications, and more. Each of these individual companies has its own listing on stock exchanges. The number of listed Tata Group companies may change over time due to mergers, acquisitions, or other corporate actions.
