Tata Sons may sell 23 crore shares of Tata Capital in much-awaited IPO

Tata Capital's promoter group Tata Sons plans to sell 23 crore shares of the NBFC, while the International Finance Corporation will offload another 3.58 crore shares in the much-awaited IPO, according to the DRHP.

In addition to the offer for sale (OFS) by the two shareholders, the Tata Capital IPO also includes a fresh issue of up to 21 crore shares. While some reports peg the IPO size at around Rs 17,200 crore, if the company prices the issue at the same Rs 281 per share as the rights issue conducted in March, the size could be closer to Rs 13,371 crore.

The IPO price band and launch dates are yet to be announced.


The total offer size stands at 47.58 crore equity shares. For FY24, Tata Capital reported a consolidated net worth of Rs 16,250 crore and a profit after tax of Rs 2,142 crore.

The DRHP shows that 95.5% stake in the company is owned by promoters, with Tata Sons owning 88.6% stake. Other owners include TMF Holdings, Tata Investment Corporation, IFC, Tata Motors, and Tata Chemicals.
