Tata Sons can fetch Rs 7.8 trillion market valuation on listing: Report

A little-known equity market research firm has pegged Rs 7.8 lakh crore valuation for the Tata group's NBFC holding company Tata Sons on listing going by the current market cap of the group firms. Being an upper-layer non-banking finance company, Tata Sons has to go public over the next 18 months as per the RBI norms.
