Tata: Conglomerate rather than an investment holding company
S&P Global Ratings is currently having an approach to treat the Tata Sons 'as a conglomerate rather than as an investment holding company'. The report of the rating agency added, "Further, Tata Sons has demonstrated financial support mainly during periods of financial stress as opposed to regular co-investments or capitalization to maintain credit strength, as seen in conglomerates with a stronger group linkage."
The report also mentioned, "We also expect Tata Sons to have a positive influence on the long-term strategy, financial policies, and funding access of its group entities. We regard the credit quality of Tata Sons to be strongly investment grade." It added, "We have observed that Tata Sons and its subsidiaries and associates have become a more cohesive group in recent years."
