  • TCPL was formed to have diversified FMCG business under one company and tap into the under-penetrated Food & Beverage (F&B) industry.
  • The IT Business, TCS is the biggest jewel to the Tata Group. TCS is also the highest profit-making company for Tata Group. Mr. Natarajan Chandrasekaran was the chairman of TCS and now he has also been as the chairman of Tata Sons as his performance has been incredible and is a big asset to Tata Group.
  • The Tata Elxsi is an Indian design company. It provides design and technology services for product engineering and solutions across industries including broadcast, communications, and automotive.
  • Tata Investment Corp. is a holding company. Holding companies always run at discounted prices. So, the real market value of Tata Investment Corp might be around Rs. 6,000 Cr.
  • The automobile business, Tata Motors and Tata Motors DVR jointly have 39.5% stake of Tata Sons in them. The value of Tata Group stake in Tata Motors used be much high but it has come down owing to the severe corrections that have been made in the stock of Tata Motors.

How Tata Sons will finance this deal is currently uncertain, however it is unlikely to dent the trustworthy brand image that Tata has created over the years.
