Chandrasekaran cites lack of board backing
Tata Group stocks pare losses from day's lows
TCS down 25.6% in 2026, Titan up 26%
Changes headline, rewrites, updates shares
By Surbhi Misra
Aug 12 (Reuters) - Shares of Tata Group companies fell on Wednesday after N. Chandrasekaran said he would not seek reappointment as Tata Sons chairman, deepening uncertainty at India's largest conglomerate that is already grappling with issues ranging from regulatory scrutiny to pricing pressures.
India's top IT services exporter, Tata Consultancy Services TCS.NS, slumped 3.9% and was the biggest loser on the Nifty .NSEI, dragging benchmark indexes lower.
Jaguar Land Rover-parent Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles TAMO.NS closed down 1.3%, while jeweller Titan TITN.NS and Tata Steel TISC.NS slipped 0.6% and 1.1%, respectively.
The stocks, however, ended off the day's lows.
Chandrasekaran cited a lack of backing from the board as the reason behind his decision, following months of tensions with Tata Trusts, the charity arm that owns 66% of Tata Sons, which, in turn, controls more than 30 companies in the conglomerate.
The two sides have disagreed over a potential listing of Tata Sons, losses at Air India, the planned exit of a minority shareholder and board representation.
"It's a knee-jerk reaction as Chandra has been at the helm for a long time, however, once the new chairperson is announced, it would be back to business as usual," said Ambareesh Baliga, a Mumbai-based market analyst.
Over the past year, the conglomerate has had to grapple with regulatory scrutiny of Air India following a fatal crash, pricing pressure at TCS and a cyberattack at JLR that disrupted production and weighed on Britain's economic output.
A source with direct knowledge of Chandrasekaran's decision told Reuters the disagreements were the sole reason for his resignation.
So far in 2026, TCS shares have dropped 25.6%, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles is down 6.6% while Tata Steel has gained 3.4%. Titan shares have risen 26%.
"We have witnessed such uncertain periods for Tata Group, when Ratan Tata had taken over in early 1990s and more recently during the Cyrus Mistry imbroglio, but it has always managed to steer through. So this time it shouldn't be any different," said Baliga.

July 13 (Reuters) - Jewellery chain BlueStone BLUT.NS plans to more than double its store network and nearly double its retail workforce by fiscal 2030, with most new outlets set to open on India's high streets as premium mall space remains limited, its CEO said.
India has about 110 million square feet of Grade A mall stock, compared with more than 400 million in China and over 700 million in the United States, data from property consultancy Anarock showed, underscoring the shortage that is pushing retailers towards high streets.
"We are fairly saturated," BlueStone Jewellery and Lifestyle CEO Gaurav Singh Kushwaha told Reuters, adding that the company was already present in about 90% of India's "quality malls" and three-fourths of future stores would be on high streets.
The Prosus-backed jewellery retailer, which sells products including rings, earrings, necklaces and bangles, aims to raise its store count to 705 from 340 and increase revenue to 120 billion rupees ($1.25 billion) by fiscal 2030 from 23.42 billion rupees in fiscal 2026. It also plans to expand its retail workforce to 4,000 from about 2,100.
Kushwaha said there were not enough malls in India, while citing Tata Group's Tanishq, which has more than 500 stores, as evidence jewellers could expand on high streets, unlike fashion and luxury brands that rely on mall footfall.
Brands, including WestBridge Capital-backed Wooden Street and Asics 7936.T, have also pointed to a shortage of premium retail space, particularly in major cities where mall supply has lagged demand.
BlueStone, like peers Kalyan Jewellers KALN.NS and Titan TITN.NS, is pressing ahead with its expansion despite volatile gold prices, which have made some smaller jewellers more cautious about opening stores.
"I hope it stays range-bound, doesn't go up, doesn't go down much," Kushwaha said. "That's the best environment to do business."

MUMBAI, June 2 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Forcing an initial public offering of the Tata conglomerate's holding company would be a clumsy application of rules designed to reduce shadow banking risks. It could also sting the Indian government as it would curb the financial flexibility of the $270 billion cars-to-chips group when New Delhi most needs agility from its corporate behemoths.
A listing risk has hung over Tata Sons since 2021, when the Reserve Bank of India refreshed its rulebook, following the collapse of Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services, a major non-bank lender. The RBI enhanced capital requirements for large shadow banks and mandated listings to increase transparency. Tata Sons is registered as a core investment company, which the RBI counts as a category of shadow banks.
Tata Sons has since taken extensive steps to address potential risks. Last year it completed a $13 billion IPO of Tata Capital TATC.NS, a small non-bank financial company; cut its quasi-lending exposure by reducing the value of so-called “letters of comfort” issued to subsidiaries’ creditors by 60% in the two years to March 31, 2025; and moved from a net debt to net cash position as of March 2024. Yet the RBI’s latest update implies Tata Sons will still need to list after July 1.
The latest pushback comes from Noel Tata, chair of Tata Trusts which owns 66% of Tata Sons. He's written to the RBI saying a listing would shift the holding company’s priorities from long-term institution-building to catering to shorter-term market expectations, Moneycontrol reported on June 1, citing people familiar with the matter.
That's a real risk; Tata's big bet on building an indigenous chip industry may not have materialised if Tata Sons was a public company. What's more, a Tata Sons IPO would not significantly increase transparency. Most of its large investments already trade as public companies, including $85 billion Tata Consultancy Services TCS.NS, $38 billion Titan TITN.NS and $15 billion Tata Motors TAMO.NS.
But a forced IPO would crystallise a huge conglomerate discount. For investors, owning a holding company is usually less attractive than buying listed subsidiaries that provide direct exposure to a desired industry. In Asia, these discounts can be as high as 50%: Tata Sons held assets worth an estimated 1.75 trillion rupees ($18.42 billion) as of March 2025.
To be sure, Tata Sons has its problems. Minority shareholder Shapoorji Pallonji Group wants liquidity for its 18% stake and skirmishes among Tata Sons board members have intensified since the death of Ratan Tata, the group's chair emeritus. The RBI diktat is making matters worse.
New Delhi may also stand to lose from broadening out Tata Sons' shareholder base. The group's 2022 purchase of Air India, the bleeding national carrier that has lurched from crisis to crisis, would have been hard to justify to external investors. On balance, an IPO would enforce rules to the letter but achieve little else.

CONTEXT NEWS
Tata Trusts Chair Noel Tata has written to the Reserve Bank of India opposing any potential listing of Tata Sons, news website Moneycontrol reported on June 1, citing unnamed people directly aware of the matter. He argued that going public could alter the long-term character of the Tata group’s holding company and disrupt the philanthropic objectives of the Trusts, the report added.
The RBI on April 29 expanded the definition of 'public funds' in its regulations for non-banking financial companies. The updated rules state that investment companies that have access to public funds indirectly through group entities or associates will not be exempted from the requirement to go public if they hold assets worth at least 1 trillion rupees ($10.5 billion).
The rules will come into effect on July 1.

In Asia, these discounts can be as high as 50%: Tata Sons held assets worth an estimated 1.75 trillion rupees ($18.42 billion) as of March 2025.
To be sure, Tata Sons has its problems. Minority shareholder Shapoorji Pallonji Group wants liquidity for its 18% stake and skirmishes among Tata Sons board members have intensified since the death of Ratan Tata, the group's chair emeritus. The RBI diktat is making matters worse.
New Delhi may also stand to lose from broadening out Tata Sons' shareholder base. The group's 2022 purchase of Air India, the bleeding national carrier that has lurched from crisis to crisis, would have been hard to justify to external investors. On balance, an IPO would enforce rules to the letter but achieve little else.

CONTEXT NEWS
Tata Trusts Chair Noel Tata has written to the Reserve Bank of India opposing any potential listing of Tata Sons, news website Moneycontrol reported on June 1, citing unnamed people directly aware of the matter. He argued that going public could alter the long-term character of the Tata group’s holding company and disrupt the philanthropic objectives of the Trusts, the report added.
The RBI on April 29 expanded the definition of 'public funds' in its regulations for non-banking financial companies. The updated rules state that investment companies that have access to public funds indirectly through group entities or associates will not be exempted from the requirement to go public if they hold assets worth at least 1 trillion rupees ($10.5 billion).
The rules will come into effect on July 1.

Shares of jewellery retailers down between 6% and 8%
India a big purchaser of gold for weddings, nearly all imported India has lifted tariffs on gold imports before to protect rupee
By Rajendra Jadhav and Nimesh Vora
MUMBAI, May 11 (Reuters) - Shares of Indian jewellery retailers tumbled on Monday after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to refrain from buying gold for a year to protect foreign exchange reserves, stoking fears that tariff hikes to curb imports of the metal may be in the offing.
The Iran war has sent oil prices surging and that in turn has resulted in mounting pressure on India's balance of payments and the rupee. India is the world's third-largest oil importer and consumer, meeting more than 90% of its crude oil needs and about half of its natural gas demand through imports.
Modi's remarks about gold on Sunday came in tandem with a range of other measures urged, including fuel conservation, increasing working from home and limits on travel and imports.
Gold is in high demand in India, particularly for weddings with gold jewellery seen as a crucial part of a bride's attire and a popular gift from family and friends. While it is the world's second-largest gold consumer, India relies on imports to meet nearly all of its demand.
Shares of jewellery makers such as Titan TITN.NS, Senco Gold SENC.NS and Kalyan Jewellers KALN.NS fell between 6% and 8% on Monday.
"There are concerns that the government might sharply increase import duty on gold for a year to discourage imports," said Surendra Mehta, national secretary at the India Bullion and Jewellers Association. "Duties could be raised even higher than levels seen in recent years."
In 2012 and 2013, New Delhi hiked tariffs on gold imports to stabilise a rapidly depreciating rupee. Now, jewellers fear that duty cuts made in 2024 to 6% from 15% to curb smuggling could soon be reversed.
A government source said on Monday, however, that the India has no plans raise duties on gold and silver imports.
India's balance of payments is expected to deteriorate sharply this fiscal year to a deficit of about $66 billion to $70 billion, compared with an estimated $26 billion to $28 billion in 2025-26.
Pressure on the rupee has prompted the central bank to sell the dollar and limit the size of trading positions that banks can take. It has also clamped down on arbitrage trades.

Recasts with more details, Adds MD comment in paragraph 8
Feb 10 (Reuters) - Indian jeweller and watchmaker Titan TITN.NS reported a 61% jump in third-quarter profit on Tuesday, buoyed by higher average selling prices for gold jewellery and strong demand during the festive season.
Titan, known for its Tanishq and CaratLane jewellery brands, said profit rose to 16.84 billion rupees ($186.04 million) for the quarter ended December 31, from 10.47 billion rupees a year ago.
India's festive season usually runs from October to December and is considered an auspicious time for big-ticket purchases such as jewellery.
Spot gold prices XAU= rose nearly 12% during the quarter, closing a calendar year in which the precious metal clocked its steepest rise since 1979, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, rate cuts and robust central bank buying.
Titan's mainstay jewellery business, which accounts for over 90% of its revenue, grew 41% year-on-year during the quarter, the company said in a business update in January. That helped total revenue from the sale of products rise nearly 42% to 249.15 billion rupees.
The company's net profit margin improved to 6.63% from 5.9% a year earlier.
Revenue from Titan's watches business, its second-largest division, grew 14%, aided by sustained demand for premium timepieces.
"The festive period spurred broad-based consumer interest across our portfolios, underscoring resilience in premium and accessible segments alike," Managing Director Ajoy Chawla said in a statement.
Shares of the company closed nearly 1% higher ahead of the results.

MUMBAI, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Gold premiums in India surged past $100 an ounce on Wednesday for the first time in more than a decade, with silver premiums at a record high, as traders priced in possible curbs on precious metals imports to shore up the rupee.
Bullion dealers charged a premium of up to $112 per ounce over official domestic gold prices – inclusive of 6% import and 3% sales levies – the highest since May 2014. Last week, dealers offered a discount of up to $12.
Silver premiums surged to $8 per ounce, surpassing the previous peak of $5 scaled in October.
India is the world's second-largest consumer of gold and the largest consumer of silver. The rupee slipped to a record low of 91.7425 against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday.
"People are speculating that the government may raise import duties on gold and silver to curb imports in the budget," said Chanda Venkatesh, managing director of Hyderabad-based bullion merchant CapsGold.
"Anticipating the hike, traders are charging premiums over record prices."
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present the Union Budget for 2026/27 on February 1. She had slashed import duties on gold and silver to 6% from 15% in July 2024 to curb smuggling.
India meets most of its gold and silver demand through imports, which have surged in recent months, widening the trade deficit and putting pressure on the rupee INR=.
Local gold prices MAUc1 soared to an all-time high of 158,339 rupees per 10 grams, while silver MSVc1 surged to a record 335,521 rupees per kilogram. GOL/
"Traders with short positions were squeezed as prices rose, forcing them to buy to close their positions," said Prithviraj Kothari, president, India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA).
While jewellery demand is down, investment in coins, bars, and exchange-traded funds has surged, Kothari said.
"Supply hasn't kept up. This shortage is causing sellers to charge higher premiums," said Chirag Thakkar, chief executive of Amrapali Group Gujarat, a leading importer.
The industry is concerned that the government may take steps to restrict bank funding currently used by jewellers for gold and silver imports, a move that is also lifting premiums on both metals, said Surendra Mehta, secretary, IBJA.
India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Jan 20 (Reuters) - Indian jewellery retailer Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri TBZL.NS reported a 170% surge in third-quarter profit on Tuesday, buoyed by strong festive demand and higher store footfalls during the peak wedding season.
The company's net profit rose to 806.3 million rupees ($8.86 million) in the October-December quarter from 298.8 million rupees a year earlier.
Quarterly revenue rose 14.4% to 10.61 billion rupees.
The December quarter typically accounts for about a third of gold sales in the world's second-largest gold consumer, as it not only comprises festival days that are considered auspicious for gold purchases but it also coincides with the start of the wedding season.
Climbing gold prices also meant customers turned to the bullion for investment.
Spot gold prices XAU= rose nearly 12% during the quarter, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, rate cuts and robust central bank buying.
The sector has benefited from higher disposable incomes, supported by fiscal measures such as the goods and service (GST) tax cuts and income tax relief, which have left consumers with more spending power on discretionary purchases such as gold.
Peers such as Titan TITN.NS, Kalyan Jewellers KALN.NS and Senco Gold SENC.NS have reported robust quarterly sales growth, underlining broad-based sector strength.

Adds background in paragraph 3, details from business update in paragraphs 5,6
Jan 6 (Reuters) - India's Titan Company TITN.NS on Tuesday posted a 40% jump in overall sales for the third quarter, driven by a higher average selling price for its gold jewellery and festive season demand.
The company is best known for its eponymous watch brand and the Tanishq network of jewellery stores.
India's festive season usually takes place during the October-December quarter and is seen as an auspicious time for large-ticket purchases such as jewellery.
Titan's jewellery business, which accounts for nearly 88% of its revenue, grew 41% year-on-year in the quarter ended December 31.
Spot gold prices XAU= rose nearly 12% during the quarter, to close out a calendar year in which the precious metal clocked its steepest rise since 1979, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, rate cuts and robust central bank buying.
The increase in average selling price offset flattish growth in the number of customers, Titan said.
Sales of watches, Titan's second-largest business, grew 13% due to demand for premium products. Eyewear sales, too, climbed 16% during the quarter.
