Tata Sons ended the calender as the largest promoter of listed companies, overtaking the central government. This is the first time in nearly two decades that the government has not held the position. This came in after the market capitalisation of state-run companies declined, Business Standard reported.

The report said that Tata Sons’ stake in the conglomerate’s listed companies is now worth Rs 9.28 lakh crore, up 34.4 per cent on a year-on-year (YoY) basis whereas the government’s stake in public sector undertakings (PSUs) is currently Rs 9.24 lakh crore, 19.7 per cent lower than at the end of December 2019.

The market valuation of the government’s stake in PSUs was nearly 67 per cent higher than that of Tata Sons’ holding in its group companies.
