Chandrasekaran’s leadership, domestic mutual funds significantly increased stakes in Tata group companies, while foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) reduced exposure. Mutual fund holdings in TCS rose from 0.94% to 5.68%, and doubled in Tata Motors to nearly 10%. FPIs cut TCS holdings from 16.9% to 9.1% and Tata Motors from 23.2% to 17.1%, but increased stakes in Tata Consumer Products and Indian Hotels. Retail investors backed turnaround stories like Tata Chemicals, where ownership rose from 18.1% to 22.7%. Meanwhile, Indian equities fell 0.8% in the week after Chandrasekaran decided not to seek another term as Tata Sons chairman, with the group’s market cap declining nearly 6% in 2026. ## Coverage - livemint.com - livemint.com Tags: FPIs, mutual funds, retail investors, shareholding pattern, SIP, Tata group Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sip-backed-funds-raise-tata-stakes-retail-backs-turnarounds/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
