Tata Technologies plans IPO , the first by Tata group in 18 years

After almost 18 years, a Tata group company is planning to sell shares to retail investors with Tata Technologies, the profit making arm of Tata Motors & planning to list its shares in the current fiscal

Once launched, the initial public offer will be the first from the Tata group since the group holding firm, TCS listed its shares in 2004. The company is in talks with several banks, including Citibank, to manage the share sale. Tata Motors currently owns 74 per cent in Tata Technologies and remaining stake is owned by other Tata group firms. The Tata group is likely to dilute around 25 per cent with the share sale though a final decision will be taken once the markets improve.

The company earned revenues of Rs 2,648 crore in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and a net profit of Rs 330 crore.

Bankers said the company earns its income from three industrial segments–automotive, aerospace and industrial machinery, but derives the biggest chunk of its revenue from the automobile segment.

As of now, around 40 per cent of Tata Technologies’s income comes from its top two captive customers : Tata Motors and JLR, which analysts say poses a significant revenue concentration risk for the company.

The firm’s IPO-plan comes at a time when several top companies are planning to list their unlisted companies to unlock value for the holding firms. Reliance Industries, India’s biggest company in market capitalisation, is planning to list its wireless telephony and retail arms.
