Tata Investment Corporation Ltd (Tata Inv) witnessed another robust trading session on March 28, with its shares hitting the upper circuit of 5 percent for the second consecutive day. The surge came amidst swirling speculations regarding a series of initial public offerings (IPOs) planned by the Tata conglomerate in the coming two to three years.
According to a report by The Economic Times, several entities within the Tata Group are contemplating IPOs, including Tata Capital, Tata Autocomp Systems, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, BigBasket, Tata Digital, Tata Electronics, Tata Housing, and Tata Batteries. These potential IPOs are seen as part of Tata Sons’ strategy to unlock value and raise funds for expansion and strategic initiatives. However, the accuracy of these claims could not be independently verified by Moneycontrol.
The impressive rally in Tata Inv’s stock is reflective of the broader market optimism surrounding the Tata Group’s future prospects and its potential IPO ventures. Since the beginning of the year, Tata Inv’s shares have witnessed a remarkable gain of over 46 percent, buoyed by investor enthusiasm and positive sentiment towards the conglomerate’s strategic moves.
Earlier this month, Tata Group companies experienced a surge in their share prices amid growing anticipation of Tata Sons’ potential listing. On March 7, shares of various Tata entities, including Tata Motors, Tata Chemicals, Rallis India, Tata Power, Nelco, and Tata Investment, surged by up to 15 percent, driven by speculation surrounding Tata Sons’ IPO plans.
As investors await further developments and official announcements from the Tata Group regarding its IPO plans, the market continues to closely monitor Tata Inv’s stock performance, which remains bullish amidst the prevailing IPO buzz and heightened investor interest in the conglomerate’s future trajectory.
The momentum in Tata Investment’s stock took a hit as reports emerged suggesting that Tata Sons might not be gearing up for its much-anticipated debut in the primary market, dampening investor enthusiasm surrounding the conglomerate’s IPO prospects.
Tata Investment Corporation Ltd, a subsidiary of Tata Sons since 2008, specializes in long-term investments, particularly in equity shares. The conglomerate, along with other group firms, collectively holds approximately 73.38 percent of Tata Inv’s capital, underscoring its strategic significance within the Tata ecosystem.
In recent developments, Tata Investment made key appointments to bolster its leadership team. Savitha Narayanan was appointed as Chief Technology Officer, while Ankan Mondal was reappointed as Chief Risk Officer, effective April 1. Additionally, Jenniefer Samuel assumed the role of head of internal audit following the resignation of Kersi Bhagat, reflecting the company’s commitment to strengthening its organizational capabilities and governance framework.
