Noel Tata Proposes Tata Sons Restructuring as Alternative to RBI Listing

Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata has proposed exploring a restructuring of Tata Sons, including potentially splitting the holding company into multiple entities, as an alternative to a public listing to meet Reserve Bank of India requirements. The proposal was discussed at the Tata Sons board meeting on September 17, according to people familiar with the matter.

Possible restructuring options could include a demerger, transferring assets to subsidiaries, a merger or a broader scheme of arrangement. Experts cited in the report said such a move could involve significant regulatory, commercial and tax complexities, given the size and structure of Tata Sons.

The development comes after the RBI classified Tata Sons as an upper-layer non-banking financial company and rejected its request to surrender its registration. Tata Sons has since begun preparations for potential regulatory compliance, with February 2027 reportedly emerging as an approximate internal target for a possible listing.

The issue has also exposed differences between Noel Tata and other members of the Tata Sons board. The board has backed N Chandrasekaran for another five-year term and supported steps toward a possible listing, while Tata Trusts has maintained that Tata Sons should remain unlisted.

Any restructuring could also affect the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which owns about 18.4% of Tata Sons and has been considering monetising part of its stake. The proposal remains an option under discussion and does not mean Tata Sons has decided to split or restructure.
