Tata Group stocks experienced a significant drop on Friday, as Tata Trusts opposed the Tata Sons board's decision to reappoint N Chandra as chairman. Tata Chemicals led the decline, falling by 11.5% to Rs 689.40 on the NSE, while Tata Consultancy Services saw a 4% decrease to Rs 2,104.90. Other affected companies included Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Tata Investment Corp., Tata Technologies, and Tata Elxsi.
These stocks had risen earlier in the week due to hopes that the central bank's refusal to revoke Tata Sons' shadow lender license would lead to the IPO of the holding company. Seven Tata Group companies collectively hold around 11.94% of Tata Sons, with Tata Steel and Tata Chemicals holding smaller stakes compared to their market capitalizations.
The listing of Tata Sons, valued at roughly Rs 10 lakh crore, is seen as a potential value-unlocking trigger for several companies within the group. However, the outcome of the recent board meeting's dispute between Tata Sons and Tata Trusts remains uncertain, with potential legal proceedings uncertain to impact the group's operating numbers.
