As per the first quarter FY22 shareholding pattern, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, who is also termed as Big Bull of the stock market, held a 1.14 per cent stake (3,77,50,000 shares) in the auto major as against 1.29 per cent (4,27,50,000 shares) holding in the March quarter FY21.

Tata Motors became the second Tata Group company besides Titan that the Big Bull has reduced his stake in the June quarter. According to Titan’s June shareholding pattern the celebrity investor has slashed at least a quarter per cent in the jewellery company.

Tata Motors in a filing to exchanges said the board has approved a proposal to raise up to Rs 500 crore through the issue of securities on a private placement basis.

A meeting of the duly authorised committee approved for subscription, on a private placement basis, up to 5,000 rated, listed, unsecured, redeemable, non-convertible debentures (NCDs) E30-B Series of face value Rs 10,00,000 each aggregating up to Rs 500 crore, the auto major said in a regulatory filing.
