Tata Motors shares jump over 1% as board considers Rs 2,000 crore NCD issuance

Tata Motors shares jumped 1.5% to an intraday high of Rs 665.50 on the BSE in early trade on Monday, March 17, after the company announced that its Board Committee will meet on March 19 to consider and approve the issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) aggregating up to Rs 2,000 crore.

“Pursuant to Regulations 29(1)(d) and 50(1)(d) of the Listing Regulations and in accordance with the approval granted by the Board of Directors of Tata Motors Limited (‘the Company’) at its meetings held on March 4, 2024, and May 10, 2024, we hereby wish to inform you that a meeting of the duly constituted Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, inter alia, to consider and approve the issuance of Rated, Listed, Unsecured, Redeemable, Non-Convertible Debentures on a private placement basis aggregating up to Rs 2,000 crore,” the company said in a regulatory filing.

The announcement signals Tata Motors’ intent to raise fresh capital through debt markets, potentially for various business requirements.

Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) are fixed-income instruments that provide structured returns to investors. As these NCDs are unsecured, meaning assets do not back them, market participants will evaluate the company’s creditworthiness and debt servicing capability.
