InGovern Research Services has urged Tata Sons to list its shares publicly. InGovern said that the listing of Tata Sons will protect the interests of public shareholders.
InGovern Research Services is a corporate governance advisory services firm.
Tata Sons is the holding firm of the Tata Group.
In a letter addressed to the independent directors and board members of listed Tata Group companies, InGovern Research MD and Founder, Shriram Subramanian, said RBI's 2026 regulatory shifts pose systemic risks to Tata Sons continued private status.
"It is the board's fiduciary duty to advocate for its listing to protect its public shareholders," he wrote.
He said that the board of listed Tata Group companies should initiate a formal, documented dialogue requesting a transparent roadmap for the listing of Tata Sons.
"They should highlight that the RBI's 2026 regulatory stance makes the current 'unregistered' status a reputational and financial risk that the listed entities can no longer afford to carry," he said.
Pushing for market-linked valuation of the companies' holdings in Tata Sons, the letter said, "It is time to abandon the practice of carrying these holdings at historical cost. Boards should push for periodic revaluations of their Tata Sons stakes to reflect fair market values."
This would provide necessary transparency to public investors and pressure the parent entity to acknowledge the unrealised value trapped within its structure, the letter added.
