Another company of the Tata Group is going to be listed on the stock market. Tata Capital has submitted its draft to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). After the listing of Tata Technology in November 2023, this is the first time that the news of an IPO has come from the Tata Group Company. According to media reports, Tata Capital has confidentially filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI.
The IPO size of Tata Capital is around Rs 15 thousand crore. Under this IPO, new shares will be issued, and at the same time, Tata Sons will also sell some of its stake in the company through Offer for Sale (OFS). Tata Capital is a non-banking financial services company (NBFC). In the meantime, there were also reports that Tata Group does not want to bring an IPO of this company, but RBI’s rule is overshadowing its desire. Actually, according to the rules of the Reserve Bank, it is mandatory for the upper-layer NBFC to be listed within 3 years. Tata Capital falls in this category, and hence it will also have to bring an IPO.
When will the IPO come?
When will the IPO of this Tata Group company come, its date will be finalized only after the approval of SEBI, but the company will have to bring IPO before September this year. RBI had issued a new circular regarding the upper layer in September 2022, this three-year period is ending in September 2025. In such a situation, Tata Capital will have to bring IPO before that. Let us tell you that Tata Sons has a 92.83% stake in Tata Capital.
