Tata Capital rights issue pricing raises valuation to ₹1.38 trillion
This latest investment has raised initial public offering (IPO)-bound Tata Capital's valuation by 31 per cent to ₹1.38 trillion, up from ₹1.05 trillion in March, according to company filings with stock exchanges. Last week, Tata Capital allotted additional equity shares of ₹10 each, aggregating ₹1,752 crore, on rights issue basis, the company said.
With the rights issue, the paid-up equity share capital of the company rose from ₹3,983.79 crore to ₹4,034.87 crore, the company said. After this, the valuation of Tata Sons, which holds 93 per cent stake, went up from ₹98,175 crore to ₹1.28 trillion.
Tata Capital is planning to come out with an IPO by September to raise up to $2 billion (₹17,259 crore). The IPO pricing for the company will be decided prior to the issue, depending upon the investors' response and market conditions, say bankers.
Proceeds from Tata Capital's listing are expected to bolster Tata Sons' war chest as it ramps up investments in emerging sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing, and electronics.
In 2023-24 (FY24), Tata Sons' standalone operating income rose 25 per cent to ₹43,767 crore, with nearly 95 per cent coming from TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) dividend, and buyback flows. For FY25, dividend receipts from TCS are expected to fall to ₹32,722 crore from ₹34,053 crore.
Meanwhile, Tata Sons — now debt-free and tagged as upper-layer non-banking financial company (NBFC) — has sought to exit the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) NBFC-UL framework and has filed for reclassification, people said. The application is pending with the RBI.
As of March 2025, Tata Capital reported a consolidated tangible net worth of ₹32,892 crore, up from ₹24,069 crore the previous year, supported by a ₹1,500 crore capital infusion from Tata Sons during FY25. Consolidated gearing improved slightly to 6.04x from 6.16x, Care Ratings said in May this year. As of September 2024, Tata Capital maintained a healthy capital structure, with a tangible net worth of ₹25,480 crore, and gearing of 6.35x. The company's standalone capital adequacy ratio (CAR) stood at 16.91 per cent, well above the regulatory threshold, the rating firm said. It added that Tata Capital's capital structure continues to benefit from the strong backing of the Tata group, which provides both financial flexibility, and a demonstrated track record of capital support. The rating firm said it expects Tata Capital's gearing to remain within the 6.0x-6.5x range over the medium term.

"No Issues Found": Air India Inspects Fuel Control Switch On Boeing Jets
New Delhi: Weeks after India witnessed one of its worst air crashes in decades, Air India has said that it has completed its inspection of the locking mechanism of the fuel control switch on its Boeing 787 and Boeing 737 aircraft and found no issues. The June 12 crash involving a Boeing Dreamliner 787-8 had left 271 people dead. Air India had voluntarily taken up the precautionary checks after a preliminary report on July 12 revealed the aircraft's fuel switches were found in a cut-off position. The checks were necessary to ensure that it could not be moved accidentally. On July 14, an advisory by India's aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) followed, calling for fuel switch checks on some aircraft models by July 21. Both Air India and its low-cost subsidiary Air India Express have complied with the DGCA directive, the Tata-owned airline said. "In the inspections, no issues were found with the said locking mechanism. Air India had started voluntary inspections on 12 July and completed them within the prescribed time limit set by the DGCA. The same has been communicated to the regulator," their statement read. Reuters report. The AAIB, which is probing the air crash, released its initial findings on July 12. Besides the fuel switch cut-off, the report had revealed that the pilots tried to relight the engines. There was no evidence of sabotage or birdhit in the 15-page report. The airline had then pointed out that the report found no mechanical or maintenance issue with the aircraft, its engines, or the fuel quality, and assured that every Boeing 787 aircraft in the Air India fleet was checked and found to be fit within days after the crash. In an internal note last week, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson had also disapproved of speculations amid an apparent Western media campaign to blame pilot actions for the crash. "Until a final report or cause is tabled, there will no doubt be new rounds of speculation and more sensational headlines," Mr Wilson had said, urging employees to "stop drawing premature conclusions". The government has also warned that these findings are preliminary, and one must wait for the final report.
