Tata Group stocks lit up the BSE on December 24, riding a wave of excitement over reports that the conglomerate is preparing to launch the IPO of its financial services arm, Tata Capital. Tata Investment Corporation soared 12%, while Tata Technologies climbed 4%. Other Tata entities joined the party, with Tata Chemicals up 3%, Tata Motors rising 2%, and TCS inching up 1%. According to a Moneycontrol report, the group is already in talks with advisors for this blockbuster IPO, likely exceeding ₹15,000 crore. The IPO would fulfill the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) mandate requiring “upper-layer” non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) to list within three years of notification. The group has reportedly engaged legal powerhouse Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas and investment bank Kotak Mahindra Capital to lead the charge. This IPO is expected to be a show-stopper, given Tata Capital’s strong positioning in India’s financial ecosystem. Its compliance with RBI norms not only underscores the group’s adaptability but also reflects its strategic intent to leverage public markets for growth.
