Tata Group intends to add one more company to its army of exchange-listed firms, which now stands at 17. With the initial public offering (IPO) of Tata Technologies on cards, the behemoth will add one more to this list.
On December 12, Tata Motors’ board of directors granted in-principle approval to investigate the prospect of a partial divestiture in its subsidiary Tata Technologies through an IPO route at a later date.
According to SEBI requirements, the business will make additional announcements of all important events relating to the IPO as and when needed. Warren Harris, MD & CEO of Tata Technologies, is a global product engineering and digital services organisation. It concentrates on four core industries: automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and industrials.
No other Tata business has made its debut on the domestic bourses since TCS in 2004. According to Tata Motor’s 2022 annual report, it owns 74.43% of Tata Technologies.
Tata Motors cancelled a $360 million proposal to sell a 43% share in Tata Technologies to private equity firm Warburg Pincus in 2018, citing delays in obtaining regulatory permissions.
Because Tata Motors will sell its stock in the IPO, the revenues will assist the struggling automaker in recouping its losses. The company posted a net loss of 945 crore for the quarter July-September 2022, its seventh consecutive quarter of financial loss.
Jaguar Land Rover, a part of Tata Motors, has been suffering from semiconductor shortages, which have hampered its performance during the last five to six quarters. The company has reduced its FY23 projection due to a delay in the recovery of its British subsidiary JLR due to ongoing chip shortages.
