Tata Sons faces RBI rejection, sparking IPO speculation

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has rejected a request from Tata Sons to voluntarily surrender its Certificate of Registration. This decision requires the conglomerate to comply with NBFC-Upper Layer regulations, a move that has reignited speculation regarding a potential initial public offering (IPO) for the holding company.

Analysts estimate that a Tata Sons IPO could value the company between ₹9-12.5 lakh crore, potentially making it the largest IPO in Indian history. The company's portfolio is estimated to be worth between ₹15-16 lakh crore, comprising approximately ₹12 lakh crore in listed holdings and ₹4 lakh crore in unlisted assets.

The regulatory decision triggered a significant decline in various Tata Group stocks. Tata Investment Corporation saw shares fall as much as 7%, while Tata Chemicals dropped nearly 6%. Other notable declines included Tata Motors, which fell 2.52%, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which traded 1.19% lower. Conversely, Trent shares rose by 1.57% during the session.
