Tata Sons and SP Group Discuss Share Swap to Monetise Stake Amid Valuation Differences
Tata Sons and the Shapoorji Pallonji (SP) Group are negotiating the monetisation of about 7% of SP Group's 18.37% stake in Tata Sons to reduce SP's estimated ₹60,000 crore debt. A share-swap deal, where SP would receive shares of listed Tata companies instead of cash, is under consideration to avoid Tata Sons raising debt. However, both parties remain divided over the transaction's structure and valuation. Meanwhile, SP Group has completed a ₹21,500 crore refinancing tranche backed by its Tata Sons shares, aiming to ease its debt burden.
