Tata Sons Considers Splitting Assets to Avoid RBI Listing
Tata Sons is the company that owns parts of many Tata businesses.
It reportedly may divide its investments among several new companies.
This could help each company stay below a size limit set by the Reserve Bank of India.
The limit is Rs 1 trillion for certain large financial companies.
Tata Sons had about Rs 1.8 trillion in assets at the end of March 2026.
The businesses could be divided by whether they are listed or unlisted.
They could also be grouped by sectors such as finance, technology, electric vehicles and manufacturing.
The proposal is only one possible restructuring option, not a confirmed decision.
Tata Sons is reportedly considering splitting its investments and assets among two or more companies.
