Tata Sons-backed Tata Capital files updated draft papers with Sebi for IPO
New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) Non-banking financial company Tata Capital has filed updated draft papers for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) comprising up to 47.58 crore equity shares.
The proposed IPO is a combination of a fresh issuance of 21 crore equity shares as well as an Offer For Sale (OFS) of 26.58 crore shares, according to the updated Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) filed on Monday.
Under the OFS, Tata Sons will offload 23 crore shares, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) will divest 3.58 crore shares.
The funds mobilised through the issue will be used for augmentation of the company's Tier-1 capital base to meet future capital requirements, including onward lending. Tata Capital filed draft papers in April with the markets regulator Sebi for an IPO through a confidential pre-filing route and had received Sebi's approval in July. Following this, companies are required to file an updated DRHP before filing an RHP.
Sources had told PTI that the IPO size could be USD 2 billion, valuing the company at around USD 11 billion.
If successful, this IPO will be the largest initial share sale in the country's financial sector. It will also mark Tata Group's second public market debut in recent years, following the listing of Tata Technologies in November 2023.
This move is part of the company's efforts to comply with the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) listing requirements.
As per the RBI mandate, upper-layer NBFCs are required to list on the stock exchange within three years of being designated as such. Tata Capital was categorised as an upper-layer NBFC in September 2022. For the financial year 2024-25, Tata Group's financial services firm reported a PAT of Rs 3,655 crore as compared to Rs 3,327 crore in FY24, and revenues surged to Rs 28,313 crore from Rs 18,175 crore. The issue is being managed by a consortium of book-running lead managers, including Axis Capital, Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, BNP Paribas, HDFC Bank, HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India) Pvt Ltd, Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt Ltd, ICICI Securities, IIFL Capital Services, SBI Capital Markets, and JP Morgan India.

Global petrochemical EBITDA margin falls to 12% in 2024, M&A activity rises amid overcapacity
New Delhi: The global petrochemical sector witnessed a significant decline in profitability, with EBITDA margins falling to 12per cent in 2024 from 17per cent in 2019, prompting a surge in merger and acquisition activity, according to a report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The report stated that more than 300 M&A deals were announced globally in 2024 as companies faced persistent overcapacity, weak demand growth, and mounting geopolitical and climate-related challenges. Return on capital employed (ROCE) dropped from 8per cent in 2019 to 4per cent in 2024. Shareholder returns also fell, with the annualised total shareholder return (TSR) of petrochemical companies standing at –1per cent, compared to the S&P 500's 15.3per cent. BCG estimated that global cracker utilisation rates will remain below historical averages, and a further 10 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of cracker capacity needs to be rationalised to restore viable operating rates. Since 2023, nearly 14 mtpa of cracker capacity has been closed in Europe. This includes closures by Sabic in the Netherlands, ExxonMobil in France, and Dow in the Netherlands. BCG said the three primary drivers of M&A in the sector are access to feedstock, entry into new markets, and acquisition of proprietary technology. It cited the acquisition of Rongsheng Petrochemical by Saudi Aramco to expand its downstream footprint in China, and Celanese's acquisition of DuPont's Mobility & Materials division to strengthen its engineered polymers portfolio. The report noted that consolidation levels vary by region and product. While Europe, North America (excluding polyethylene), and India (excluding aromatics) are relatively consolidated, China remains fragmented and could significantly influence global consolidation trends. Major transactions expected in 2025 include the merger of Borealis and Borouge into Borouge Group International, which will acquire Nova Chemicals for USD 13.4 billion. Orlen's acquisition of Azoty's polyolefins business and Ineos' buyout of TotalEnergies' stakes in Naphtachimie, Appryl, and Gexaro were also highlighted. The report outlined three potential future scenarios for the industry: dominance of feedstock-rich exporters, M&A-driven integration by national oil companies, and increased protectionism leading to regional consolidation. BCG said petrochemical companies must prepare for all roles in consolidation—acquirers, acquirees, or bystanders—based on their product portfolio and regional position. It recommended that potential acquirers focus on synergy assessment, financial diligence, and post-merger integration, while acquirees build a clear value narrative and address operational and financial risks.

Tasmac to start transfer counselling for 24,000 staff
CHENNAI: For the first time since it became the sole retail vendor of alcohol in the state in 2003, the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) has commenced work for a state-wide transfer counselling to rationalise the deployment of its roughly 24,000 sales staff in the 4,826 retail outlets it runs. Tasmac officials said the intent behind the move is to streamline the operations through effective deployment of staff based on the sales volume of the outlets and to prevent scope for irregularities, especially by those working in the same outlets for several years. The sales staff include salesmen and supervisors. A senior official told TNIE the shops have been divided into four categories based on their daily sales volume - above Rs 10 lakh, between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 10 lakh, between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 5 lakh, and below Rs 2 lakh. 'So far, staff transfers were done within the same district. But we found that some salesmen have been working in the same shop for over 10 years, mainly due to the influence they wield because of their political or union affiliations. This has led to bribery and favouritism,' the official said. The official said Tasmac has decided to transfer those who have been in the same outlet continuously for more than 10 years. 'We are going to conduct state-wide counselling for staff transfers for the first time since 2003,' the official added. T Dhanasekaran, general secretary of the Tamil Nadu Tasmac Employees Association, affiliated to All India Trade Union Congress, urged the state to first frame service rules before conducting the state-wide counselling. 'We have been working for more than 20 years, but there is no clear service rule, no promotion, proper week-off, medical allowance or regular wage revision,' he said.

Trump's additional 25% tariffs may dent India's FY26 growth by 0.4%
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in Economy Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US President Donald Trump has imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on imports from India and economist feel the move could dent the India's GDP growth in FY26 by 0.4 per Badhan, Economics Specialist at Bank of Baroda , told ANI, "We had initially priced in approx. 0.2 per cent impact (on GDP growth) of 25-26 per cent tariffs imposed by the US on imports from India. The additional 25 per cent hike will come into effect after 21 days. During this time or in the coming months, there is a likelihood that lower rates may be negotiated."She added that depending on the final trade agreement, the total impact of these tariffs on GDP growth may range between 0.2-0.4 per cent. Sectors likely to be affected include garments, precious stones, electronics, pharma, auto parts, and MSMEs."There appears to be downside risk to our growth forecast of 6.4-6.6 per cent if lower rates are not negotiated," she move has also triggered serious concerns among Indian exporters and trade experts. The fresh tariff has taken the total US import duty on Indian goods to 50 per cent, making Indian exports significantly more expensive in the American move, announced through an executive order on Wednesday (US time), is in response to India continuing its import of oil from executive order by Trump stated that, "I find that the Government of India is currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil. Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law, articles of India imported into the customs territory of the United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent".Ajay Bagga, a Banking and Market Expert, told that the steep tariff is a major blow. "India is now hit with 50 per cent tariffs, but frankly, once it crossed 25 per cent, it didn't matter. It could be 1,000 per cent or 5,000 per cent, here's no trade possible anymore," he pointed out that with Christmas orders ready and shipments already prepared, the move hits exporters hard. "If USD 1 billion worth of textile exports are halted, it directly impacts around 100,000 workers."Agneshwar Sen, Trade Policy Leader at EY India, called the additional tariff stated, "Political differences are best resolved through mutual dialogue and established forums, not through such measures. I remain hopeful that the Government of India will continue to engage and seek a balanced resolution with the U.S," he Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) also raised President, S C Ralhan, said, "Nearly 55 per cent of our shipments to the US market are directly affected. The 50 per cent tariff puts Indian exporters at a 30-35 per cent competitive disadvantage."He added that many buyers are now putting export orders on hold due to the higher landed costs."For MSMEs, absorbing this cost is not viable. This could force many to lose long-standing clients," he the executive order imposes tariffs on most Indian imports, some items have been excluded under Annex II of Executive Order 14257. These include certain mineral substances, metallurgical ores, fuels, industrial chemicals, and pharmaceutical India has clarified that it will continue to buy oil based on its own strategic tensions between the two countries now appear to be escalating, and the coming weeks may be crucial as both sides look to negotiate possible relief.
