Tata Motors on 12 December stated that it had approved the partial divestment of its equity shares in subsidiary Tata Technologies via an initial public offer (IPO).

Since TCS in 2004, no company from the Tata Group has made a debut on the domestic bourses in the past 18 years.

Earlier this month, Tata Play (earlier called Tata Sky) filed for a confidential pre-filing of offer documents.

Tata Motors holds little more than 74% stake in Tata Technologies, according to the former's 2022 annual report.

In the last one year, Tata Technologies which is led by CEO Warren Harris has seen a sharp uptick in revenues due to relaxation in regulatory and health guidelines that enabled improved business activities coupled with new business opportunities in South East Asia.

Tata Technologies focuses on 4 key verticals namely automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery and industrials.
