In a path-breaking step, Tata Capital, the financial services subsidiary of the Tata Group, has submitted draft papers to SEBI for an IPO of $2 billion via the confidential pre-filing method. The offering, which is likely to give the company a valuation of about $11 billion, will consist of 2.3 crore equity shares by way of a mix of fresh issue and an offer for sale by current investors. Tata Sons, which owns 92.83% of Tata Capital, will spearhead the stake dilution with IFC. The confidential filing mechanism allows companies to safeguard sensitive business details while preparing for public listing. This IPO aligns with RBI's mandate for upper-layer NBFCs to list within three years of classification, making Tata Capital's market debut a regulatory milestone. With ten investment banks onboarded, including Kotak Mahindra and JP Morgan, this offering could become India's largest IPO in 2025. In the wake of the successful listing of Tata Technologies in 2023, Tata Capital's listing in public markets is likely to reshape the financial landscape of India. Market analysts are closely watching its influence on investors' perception and overall economic trends. Source: Financial Express
