Tata Capital rights issue pricing raises valuation to ₹1.38 trillion
This latest investment has raised initial public offering (IPO)-bound Tata Capital's valuation by 31 per cent to ₹1.38 trillion, up from ₹1.05 trillion in March, according to company filings with stock exchanges. Last week, Tata Capital allotted additional equity shares of ₹10 each, aggregating ₹1,752 crore, on rights issue basis, the company said.
With the rights issue, the paid-up equity share capital of the company rose from ₹3,983.79 crore to ₹4,034.87 crore, the company said. After this, the valuation of Tata Sons, which holds 93 per cent stake, went up from ₹98,175 crore to ₹1.28 trillion.
Tata Capital is planning to come out with an IPO by September to raise up to $2 billion (₹17,259 crore). The IPO pricing for the company will be decided prior to the issue, depending upon the investors' response and market conditions, say bankers.
Proceeds from Tata Capital's listing are expected to bolster Tata Sons' war chest as it ramps up investments in emerging sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing, and electronics.
In 2023-24 (FY24), Tata Sons' standalone operating income rose 25 per cent to ₹43,767 crore, with nearly 95 per cent coming from TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) dividend, and buyback flows. For FY25, dividend receipts from TCS are expected to fall to ₹32,722 crore from ₹34,053 crore.
Meanwhile, Tata Sons — now debt-free and tagged as upper-layer non-banking financial company (NBFC) — has sought to exit the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) NBFC-UL framework and has filed for reclassification, people said. The application is pending with the RBI.
As of March 2025, Tata Capital reported a consolidated tangible net worth of ₹32,892 crore, up from ₹24,069 crore the previous year, supported by a ₹1,500 crore capital infusion from Tata Sons during FY25. Consolidated gearing improved slightly to 6.04x from 6.16x, Care Ratings said in May this year. As of September 2024, Tata Capital maintained a healthy capital structure, with a tangible net worth of ₹25,480 crore, and gearing of 6.35x. The company's standalone capital adequacy ratio (CAR) stood at 16.91 per cent, well above the regulatory threshold, the rating firm said. It added that Tata Capital's capital structure continues to benefit from the strong backing of the Tata group, which provides both financial flexibility, and a demonstrated track record of capital support. The rating firm said it expects Tata Capital's gearing to remain within the 6.0x-6.5x range over the medium term.

JP Morgan downgraded Bajaj Finance to neutral from overweight with the target price of Rs 970. Analysts feel the NBFC remains the best in quality among peers with the rare combination of high growth and quality.

Morgan Stanley maintained its overweight rating on SBI Life Insurance with the target price at Rs 2,115. Analysts said the company's April-June quarterly numbers showed a good performance by the life insurer. They believe the company is a preferred large cap stock with an attractive risk-reward profile. The stock has limited downside across most large caps in non-bank financials space. Macquarie maintained its neutral rating on Nestle but cut target price to Rs 2,250 from Rs 2,375. Analysts said that the company's April-June numbers missed estimates and they see near term growth headwinds for it.

Poonawalla Fincorp aims AUM growth upwards of 40% in FY26, says CEO
Financial Services firm Poonawalla Fincorp is targeting above 40 per cent growth in its asset book on the back of expansion in products portfolio including gold loans. "We have given Asset Under Management growth guidance of 35-40 per cent this year. We hope to exceed our target as new product lines are gaining good traction," Poonawalla Fincorp MD and CEO Arvind Kapil told PTI. Poonawalla Fincorp registered a 53 per cent robust growth on annual basis in AUM at Rs 41,273 crore at the end of first quarter ended June 30, 2025. "We have close to 13 businesses and there are two noteworthy items that we have and we gave a declaration that we will be building AUM for the first four quarters and we will look at a guidance of sustained business profits thereafter which is a little different than how NBFC's have normally built," he said. The company's offerings include pre-owned car finance, personal loans, loans for professionals, business loans, loans against property, machinery loans, education loans, commercial vehicle loans, shopkeeper loans, gold loans, and consumer durable loans. In a bid to grow the business, he said, the promoter will soon infuse Rs 1,500 crore via the issuance of equity shares on a preferential basis for which board approval is already in place. "This strategic move underscores the promoter's continued confidence in the company's long-term growth trajectory and will further strengthen the capital base to support its business growth," he said, adding, a Rs 1,500 crore growth capital by promoter - among the largest in recent times - will push net worth of the company to approx Rs 10,000 crore. The proposed capital infusion would sustain high growth for this financial year and the NBFC would look at another round of equity raise may be early next financial year, he said. As far as the gold loan business is concerned, he said, it was launched in April and since then the company has opened 80 branches dedicated to this business across Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Another 320 branches would be opened in the span of 7-8 months to take total branches to 400 by year end, he added. Other two businesses launched in April this year -- shopkeeper loan and consumer durable loan, while commercial vehicle loan and education loan introduced in March are also getting good response, he said. In all, the Cyrus Poonawalla group promoted non-deposit taking systemically important non-banking finance company (ND-SI-NBFC) launched 5 products in 2025. As regards commercial vehicle loan, he said the company has commenced business across 27 locations in 10 states and completed on-boarding of 200 plus distribution partners while on the education loan side there will be a network to over 500 education consultants by March 2026 apart from a dedicated sales team. Talking about cost borrowing, he said, it has come down to 8.04 per cent during the first quarter as against 8.07 per cent in the March quarter. The credit cost is 1.43 per cent, among the best in the industry and fund raise is well diversified. During Q1FY26, the Pune-based NBFC raised Rs 5,458 crore through NCD (including sub-debt) to increase the proportion of long-term borrowings. This has increased NCD contribution to about 24 per cent of total borrowings against about 7 per cent as on March 2025. As far as asset acquisitions are concerned, he said, the priority would be on the secured lending business.
