For the Tatas, a resolution may ease some of the intense regulatory spotlight it has come under in the past few years after RBI rules revived pressure on its holding company to list on the exchanges.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Noel is the chairman of Tata Trusts, a group of charities that own 66% in Tata Sons. Natarajan Chandrasekaran\u2019s announcement this month that he\u2019ll step down as Tata Sons chairman in Feb has put Noel in the driver\u2019s seat to drive a settlement. Noel also has familial connections: he is married to Aloo Mistry, the sister of SP Group chairman Shapoor Mistry.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Representatives of Tata Sons and Shapoorji Pallonji Group did not offer any immediate comments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>SP Group closed one of the largest private credit transactions in India in July, as investors are hopeful that the conglomerate can eventually monetise its stake in Tata Sons and unlock liquidity worth billions of rupees.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>There\u2019s no certainty that the ongoing talks will lead to a deal and the structure of the transaction may change as negotiations proceed, the sources said. A major hurdle will be in agreeing at a valuation for Tata Sons that controls bulk of the sprawling salt-to-software conglomerate and has many large unlisted businesses such as Air India Ltd and iPhone maker Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd under its umbrella. <!-- -->Both sides are evaluating legal aspects of all options being discussed as well as potential regulatory issues around the share swap since it will involve listed Tata entities, the sources said.<!-- --> SP Group is also periodically updating its stakeholders on the negotiations, while advisers are examining the legal implications of the various structures under consideration, they said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>A resolution needs to come through within the next 18 months as that is the timeline when SP Group\u2019s recently closed bond issue will need to make its first payout. These bonds sold by Eqyizen Investment offered 18.95% and will mature in 36 months. The first interest payment is coming up in July 2028.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/india-business\/noel-tata-shapoorji-discuss-share-swap-for-tata-sons-stake-sale\/articleshow\/133601842.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tata Group in talks with Shapoorji Pallonji for potential share swap or buyout of its 18.4% stake in Tata Sons.
