Why the Mistrys want to unlock their family silver from Tata Sons | Company Business News
Tata Sons may now have to list, after the RBI refused to let it exit the non-banking financial company (NBFC) framework. The Mistry family's SP group, which owns 18.37%, offered to sell about 3% for roughly ₹25,000 crore to avoid a listing. The board rejected that and began listing work. For minority shareholders, this means a possible route to value a long-held stake.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Shapoorji Pallonji group's Mistry family owns 18.37% of Tata Sons, a stake that has been difficult to monetise.
- The Mistrys offered to sell back up to three percentage points of that stake for about ₹25,000 crore, valuing Tata Sons at about ₹8.3 trillion.
- By a 4:1 vote, with Noel Tata the lone dissenter, the Tata Sons board gave N. Chandrasekaran five more years and set the listing process in motion.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you hold shares in a private, unlisted company, check how easily those shares could actually be sold and what they may be worth. Where a listing of your company is being discussed, follow the official filings and speak to a CA before assuming any sale price.
