Tata to Invest ₹30,000 Cr in Promising Business Segments like Digital, Electronics

Tata Sons is planning a major investment of ₹30,000 crore ($3.5 billion) across some of its most promising business segments, including Tata Digital, Tata Electronics, Air India, its defence operations, and battery manufacturing. This funding, to be provided as equity, was recently approved by the Tata Sons board, as per reports.

The move is part of a broader strategy to accelerate the growth of emerging sectors within the Tata Group. The fresh investments are in addition to the company’s larger commitment of $120 billion towards new ventures over recent years. A senior executive from the group shared that this investment is meant to support execution-level needs as these businesses gear up for their next phase of expansion.

The defence sector has been reaffirmed as a key focus area, reflecting Tata’s belief in sectors with long-term global importance. Chairman N Chandrasekaran is reportedly monitoring these initiatives closely, aiming to bring these new-age businesses into the top five by revenue within the group by FY27. Tata Electronics and Tata Digital are already among the top 10 revenue earners.

To strengthen strategic focus, Chandrasekaran recently stepped down from Tata Chemicals’ board. Meanwhile, Tata Digital is expected to name a new CEO after the exit of Naveen Tahilyani. Despite leadership changes, the digital arm remains central to Tata’s future plans.
