Tata Group Stocks are on Fire: Which one Should You Buy?

The stock of Tata Motors breached its new 52-week high.

Over the past three months, the gains on the stock have been 69%.

Anyone who has bought the stock exactly one year ago, would be sitting on gains of 278%.

If you regret having missed this meteoric rise in the stock within such a short time, you aren't alone. There was very little in the company's financials to suggest such a sharp ascend.

No doubt the stock of Tata Motors has been in the news over past several months.

New product launches, price hikes, capex based on the PLI scheme, and green energy initiatives - the stock has seen positive sentiment. Add to that the narrowing losses, quarter after quarter.

But what really helped the stock was the company's focus on electric vehicles.

Tata Motors currently has one of the highest share of electric vehicles sold in India. Its latest move to raise Rs 75 bn from TPG group for the EV businesses cemented the company's plans.

The funds to be invested in Tata Motors's new EV subsidiary has already convinced the markets of the value unlocking opportunity in the stock.

But Tata Motors is not the only Tata group stock to win big.

Over the past year, majority of the companies belonging to this group have delivered handsome shareholder returns.

Tata Motors is not the only entity in the group to ride the massive EV megatrend.

Several Tata group companies are setting up EV related capacity. Add to that their combined knowhow and domain knowledge.

Tata Power is tying up with several players for all formats of EV charging infrastructure such as home, public, and fleet charging.

Tata Chemicals will provide the battery technology localisation and powertrain systems. It's also building an energy storage system facility for mobility and stationary charging. It has labs in Pune and Chennai working on this.

Tata Elxsi is working on AI enabled platforms for EV dealers, fleet operators, manufacturers etc.

Tata Motor Finance has chalked out vehicle financing options.

Others like Tata Steel, Titan, NELCO, TCS have lent their hand in components, software, and design.

So, which is the best Tata group stock to ride this massive electric vehicle megatrend?

Should you simply buy Tata Motors assuming it will be India's Tesla in a few years?

Well, EV businesses are disruptive. And they operate in an entirely new ecosystem.

Therefore, it would be imprudent to decide the safety of the EV stocks based on traditional methods.

I will shortly release a video on Equitymaster's YouTube channel explaining my methodology of evaluating SAFE EV stocks.

But that's not all!

My research on the EV ecosystem threw up several such hidden opportunities which are being completely ignored.
