The Tata Group experienced a massive market value decline of Rs 90,000 crore on Monday due to a global market selloff. Sixteen Tata companies were impacted, with Trent Limited, Tata Steel, and Tata Motors experiencing significant stock price drops. The decline was driven by concerns over Q4 performance, global commodity price volatility, and US trade tensions. Despite the substantial loss, some Tata companies like TCS and Titan remained relatively stable during the trading session.

Key Points

1

Tata Group loses Rs 90,000 crore in market value on Monday

2

16 Tata companies affected amid global market selloff

3

Trent Limited falls 15% after Q4 performance concerns

4

Tata Motors drops 13% after JLR export pause

A total of 16 Tata companies were affected, with their combined market capitalisation dropping by around Rs 2.3 lakh crore during intra-day trade.

By the end of the day, the total market cap stood at Rs 25.3 lakh crore. Shares of Trent Limited, Tata Steel Limited, Tata Technologies Limited, and Indian Hotels Co. were among the biggest losers within the group.

Trent, the apparel retail company, fell nearly 15 per cent after analysts gave cautious views on its fourth-quarter (Q4) performance.

Although the company reported a 28 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in sales, this was a slowdown compared to 37 per cent growth in the previous quarter.

The stock even hit a near one-year low and revised its lower circuit limit, falling as much as 18 per cent during the session.

Tata Steel shares dropped to their lowest level in more than two months and were the biggest drag on the Nifty Metal index, which itself tumbled 8.6 per cent.

The broader metal sector came under pressure due to fears of volatility in global commodity prices after US President Donald Trump announced aggressive tariffs, which led to concerns of a trade war.

Tata Technologies, which provides product engineering and digital solutions, fell almost 6 per cent to an all-time low of Rs 597 apiece.

Tata Motors also saw a sharp drop of nearly 13 per cent after its luxury vehicle arm, Jaguar Land Rover, announced a pause in exports to the US.

This move came in response to the new auto tariffs imposed by the US government. Although Indian automakers have limited exposure to the US market, Tata Motors may still feel the impact through JLR.

Meanwhile, other Tata companies such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Chemicals, and Titan Company were relatively stable, falling less than 2 per cent during the intra-day session.

Ouch! That's a massive hit for Tata Group. I hope this is just temporary volatility and not a sign of deeper issues. Trent's 15% drop seems particularly brutal 😬

As a long-term investor in Tata stocks, I'm not too worried. These are fundamentally strong companies that have weathered storms before. Might even be a good buying opportunity!

The global market conditions are really impacting Indian stocks hard. Tata Steel and Tata Motors seem to be bearing the brunt of international trade policies. Hope the govt steps in with some support.

Interesting how TCS remained relatively stable while others crashed. Shows the resilience of their IT business model compared to manufacturing/retail. Smart diversification by the group!

While I respect Tata Group immensely, this shows they might be overexposed to global market risks. Maybe time to rethink some international strategies? Just my two cents.

That Trent drop is brutal! I shop there often and the stores always seem busy. Maybe analysts are being too harsh on one quarter's slightly slower growth? 🤔
