2 Tata Group IPOs lined up in 2023, check details here

Last updated on January 13, 2024

For fans of Tata companies, 2023 is going to be an interesting year as at least two Tata Group IPOs are lined up in the next year. From the information available in the public domain, Tata Technologies and Tata Play are the two companies from the house of Tatas that are likely to go public in next year. It is worth highlighting that the last IPO to come from Tata Group was Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) which made stock market debut in 2004.

Tata Play IPO – Confidential filing, Disney to exit

Of the two, Tata Play IPO is in relatively advanced stage as draft papers have already been filed for the offer. Incidentally, it is also India’s first company to draft prospectus confidentially. Market regulator SEBI recently allowed companies to file their IPO papers without making the content available for general public, pretty much on the lines of the US market.

Earlier known as Tata Sky, Tata Play is India’s largest satellite television operator with over 19 million subscribers and counts Walt Disney Co. as a major investor. Nevertheless, the US entertainment giant is looking to offload its entire shareholding of 29.8% in the new Tata IPO, according to media reports. The equity stake was inherited by Walt Disney as a result of acquisition of TFCF Corporation (formerly known as Twenty-First Century Fox) but it now plans to focus on growing its own operations.

Tata Technologies IPO – Board approval, stock split & bonus

Apart from Tata Play IPO, the other contender from the group is Tata Technologies which received an in-principle approval from the board of Tata Motors earlier this month. The engineering and digital services subsidiary of Tata Motors has private equity investor Alpha TC Holdings Pte Ltd among its external investors.

Furthermore, Tata Technologies has gone ahead with a stock split (1:5) and bonus (1:1), in-line with its preparation for stock market debut. Record date for both the activities has been fixed at 16 January 2023. According to the intelligence gathered by IPO Central, Tata Technologies unlisted shares are currently quoting at INR 850 per share, following a jump in recent days. Without doubt, this upcoming Tata IPO will be closely watched.  

During the year ended 31 March 2022, the engineering specialist was the driving force behind a sharp jump in its parent’s income from other sources. Its revenues jumped 48% to INR 3,530 crore in FY 2022, while net profit surged nearly 83% to INR 437 crore.

Evidently, investors will be spoiled for choice with 2 Tata IPOs in 2023!

First Tata Group IPO since TCS

While it is not immediately clear which IPO will hit the market first, there is little doubt that the market has high hopes from both the offers. The group’s last offering, in the form of TCS IPO, has proved to be a consistent compounder and has rewarded investors very well.
