Tata Trusts Propose Merger Plan to Restructure Tata Sons and Avoid RBI-Mandated Listing
Tata Trusts, holding a 66% stake in Tata Sons, has proposed merging two operating companies—Tata Electronics Systems Solutions and Tata Consulting Engineers—into Tata Sons. This strategic reorganisation aims to change Tata Sons' regulatory classification, removing it from the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) definitions of a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) and Core Investment Company (CIC). By increasing operating revenues relative to financial income, the move seeks to avoid mandatory public listing required for upper-layer NBFCs. The proposal awaits Tata Sons board approval and RBI's no-objection certificate amid internal disagreements over listing plans.
