The Reserve Bank of India on Thursday kept Tata Sons under enhanced regulatory supervision but said that would not affect the holding company's pending application to surrender its non-banking finance licence, leaving uncertainty over whether it will eventually have to list its shares.
Tata Sons, the principal investment holding company of the $400-billion Tata Group, was first classified as an upper-layer non-banking financial company (NBFC) in 2022. Under RBI rules, such entities are required to list within three years, although the regulator did not clarify whether that requirement applies while Tata Sons' deregistration request remains under review.
