Tata Investment Corporation Share Price

Tata Investment Corporation Limited (TICL) is an Indian non-banking financial company (NBFC) primarily invested in long-term asset investments like equity shares and securities linked to equity. Tata Investment Corporation Limited, headquartered in Mumbai, began its journey in 1937 under the name The Investment Corporation of India.

TICL was founded by Tata Sons Private Limited. Its mission is to strengthen the growth of small and mid-sized enterprises by injecting them with the necessary capital and sharing its expert insight. In February 2008, the company became a subsidiary of Tata Sons. Along with other Tata entities, Tata Sons collectively holds around 73.38% of the paid-up capital of Tata Investment Corporation Limited.

For many years since its foundation, the company strengthened the growth of small and mid-sized enterprises. This effort by TICL led to the establishment of several well-known companies decades ago such as Associated Bearing Co Limited (now SKF Bearings (India) Limited), Ceat Tyres Limited (now Ceat Limited) and National Rayon Corporation.

The year 1998 marked an important moment for Tata Investment as it launched its IPO and got listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE.

The market capitalisation of Tata Investment is over ₹29,000 crore as of February 1, 2024. Tata Investment share price has gained over 430% in three years.
