Tata ownership shifts as SIP-backed funds deepen stakes since 2017
Domestic mutual funds increased their holdings in Tata Consultancy Services to 5.7% by June 2026, up from 0.9% in March 2017.
LiveMint reports that shareholding data reviewed by Ace Equity shows a notable change in who owns Tata Group companies during N. Chandrasekaran’s tenure, with SIP-backed domestic funds, foreign portfolio investors, and retail shareholders each shifting their portfolios. According to the analysis, domestic mutual funds became especially influential. Their ownership in Tata Consultancy Services rose from 0.94% in March 2017 to 5.68% by 30 June 2026, while Tata Communications saw mutual fund stakes climb by more than 12 percentage points as the company pushed toward an enterprise and cloud connectivity profile. The report also highlights that mutual funds expanded exposure to consumer and turnaround stories, including a rise in Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles holdings from 4.82% in 2017 to nearly 10% by June 2026. It notes retail investors were already present across most Tata stocks, but the defining trend was the growing clout of domestic mutual funds backed by steady systematic investment plan inflows.
Tanvi Kanchan of Anand Rathi Shares & Stock Brokers said the funds used nine years of SIP-driven inflows to build long-term, low-turnover positions in Tata franchises such as TCS and Tata Communications, as well as in Trent and Titan. The story adds that these stocks delivered multi-bagger returns over Chandrasekaran’s time as Tata Sons chairman.
