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.

Poonawalla Fincorp share price rises 6% despite sell-off in Indian stock market; here's why
Poonawalla Fincorp share price jumped over 6% on Monday led by heavy buying momentum, despite broader weakness in the Indian stock market. Poonawalla Fincorp shares rallied as much as 6.59% to ₹ 440.75 apiece on the BSE. Around 40 lakh equity shares of Poonawalla Fincorp changed hands on stock exchanges, significantly higher than their one week average trading volumes of 19 lakh shares. The rally in Poonawalla Fincorp share price comes after the financial services company approved raising ₹ 1,500 crore from its promoter and aims for over 40% growth in its asset book, led by expansion in products portfolio including gold loans. The board of directors of Poonawalla Fincorp, on July 25, approved raising of funds up to ₹ 1,500 crore from promoter Adar Poonawalla's Rising Sun Holdings by issuing and allotting of 3.31 crore fully paid-up equity shares at an issue price of ₹ 452.51 per equity share by way of preferential allotment and private placement basis. The equity infusion has increased Poonawalla Fincorp's net worth to ₹ 9,700 crore. 'The said capital raise is a strategic move not only strengthens the company's financial position but also reinforces the promoter's confidence in the Company's long-term potential. The Company is well positioned to continue its growth trajectory, deliver value to its stakeholders and achieve its ambitious objectives in the competitive NBFC landscape,' Additionally, Poonawalla Fincorp is targeting above 40% 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% 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. The non-deposit-taking NBFC, Poonawalla Fincorp, reported a net profit of ₹ 63 crore in the first quarter of FY26, a steep fall of 78.5% from ₹ 292 crore in the year-ago period, impacted by one-time expenses and prior provisioning. However, profit remained flat on a sequential basis. The company's net interest income (NII) in Q1FY26 increased to ₹ 639 crore from ₹ 576 crore, year-on-year (YoY). Poonawalla Fincorp registered a 53% robust growth on an annual basis in AUM at ₹ 41,273 crore at the end of first quarter ended June 30, 2025. In Q1FY26, the company had taken a one-time accelerated provision of ₹ 666 crore on the erstwhile STPL book, which also improved its provision coverage ratio (PCR) to 53.93%, up from 52.53% a year earlier. 'With credit cost significantly reducing on an overall basis by 53 bps QoQ, a risk-calibrated AUM increase of 15.8% QoQ, and ~Rs.1,500 cr capital infusion on preferential basis by the promoter, strengthens the company and supports its growth plans. Poonawalla Fincorp is well-poised for building a risk-first, sustainable, and profitable model,' said Arvind Kapil, Managing Director and CEO, Poonawalla Fincorp. Poonawalla Fincorp share price has fallen 3% in one month, but the NBFC stock has rallied 14% in three months and 42% in six months. The stock is up 40% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, while it has gained 16% in one year. Poonawalla Fincorp share price has delivered multibagger returns of 1607% over the past five years. At 10:35 AM, Poonawalla Fincorp share price was trading 5.94% higher at ₹ 438.05 apiece on the BSE.

Tata Sons expects reprieve from forced IPO amid regulator review
Tata Sons Pvt., the closely-held holding company of India's salt-to-software conglomerate, is not making any preparations for a near-term share sale as it believes the country's regulators will extend a deadline to take itself public, said people familiar with the matter. ADVERTISEMENT Following engagement with officials, the company's leaders expect it will receive official communication from the Reserve Bank of India granting extension for an initial share sale amid a nationwide review of rules governing entities that are not public-facing and do not require public funds, said the people, who asked not to be named discussing information that's sensitive. The RBI had earlier classified Tata Sons as a top tier non-banking lender, forcing it to list by September this year. Tata Sons, which is not a customer-facing financial institution, had last year applied to deregister as a Core Investment Company under the shadow bank framework. The company has controlling stakes in over a dozen large listed Tata companies, and is in turn administered by Tata Trusts, a philanthropic arm, with 66% stake in Tata a listing would simplify the complicated holding structure of the Tata Group, taking the company public risks making it a target for takeover — something that Tata Sons directors hold the power to veto in its current form.A representative for the Tata Group declined to comment, while the RBI didn't immediately respond to an emailed query. ADVERTISEMENT However, any delay in a Tata Sons' initial public offering means the debt-laden Shapoorji Pallonji Group won't get an opportunity to sell any of the illiquid 18.37% it owns in the Tata holding 160-year-old conglomerate, which has been struggling with financial stress fueled by the Covid-19 pandemic, was looking to liquidate its stake in Tata Sons as a crucial step to pare debt. ADVERTISEMENT Tata Sons cleared all debt from its balance sheet to avoid inclusion in RBI's 2023 list of top Non-Banking Financial Companies. While the RBI hasn't yet announced a decision on Tata Sons' status, Governor Sanjay Malhotra last month hinted at a differential regulatory framework for entities like it.'It is dynamic,' Malhotra had said. 'Policies have to change with the times and so it is only in that context that we are going to review some of these policies related to Type-I NBFCs.'
