Shares of Tata Chemicals and Tata Investment Corporation surged by up to 12% on Monday amid speculation about the initial public offering (IPO) of Tata Sons. Tata Chemicals traded at around ₹774 per share, while Tata Investment Corp reached ₹722, marking their highest levels in over two months. This rally comes as key trustees of Tata Trusts, including former Defence Secretary Vijay Singh and businessman Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry, publicly support the IPO, which aims to enhance governance and transparency within the Tata ecosystem. Mistry emphasized that a public listing would not dilute the role of Tata Trusts, countering previous resolutions to keep Tata Sons unlisted. The IPO could also provide an exit route for minority shareholders, particularly the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which holds an 18.37% stake in Tata Sons. However, internal divisions within Tata Trusts are evident, with some trustees advocating for the listing while others prefer to maintain an unlisted structure. The Reserve Bank of India is expected to issue new regulations regarding upper-layer non-banking finance companies (NBFCs), which may impact Tata Sons' listing prospects.
