The Reserve Bank of India has retained Tata Sons in its upper-layer list of non-banking finance companies for FY27, identifying it as a core investment company. Tata Sons has standalone assets of about Rs 2.01 lakh crore, above the Rs 1 lakh crore threshold under the revised framework. The list includes 17 NBFCs, with Tata Sons the only unlisted entity. The RBI said Tata Sons’ inclusion does not prejudge its pending application to surrender its core investment company registration. Upper-layer NBFCs face enhanced regulatory requirements and must list within the prescribed timeline, reported The Economic Times. Tata Sons had sought deregistration to avoid listing, while the Shapoorji Pallonji Group has supported a listing.
