Tata Group Stocks Lose ₹5 Lakh Crore In A Year As TCS, Tata Motors, PV And Trent Drag Market Cap

The past year has been challenging for the Tata Group, with a sharp fall in market value across many of its listed companies. Tata group stocks fell by up to 60%, leading to a total market capitalisation loss of about ₹5.15 lakh crore.

TCS Emerges As The Biggest Drag

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) was the largest contributor to the decline. The IT major alone erased around ₹3.2 lakh crore in market value over the year.

TCS shares fell about 22%, hit by slower client spending, higher US tariffs, and an increase in H-1B visa fees. 

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Under Pressure

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (PV), which was listed after the demerger of the commercial vehicle business, saw its shares drop 53%. This led to a market cap erosion of about ₹1.53 lakh crore.

The stock was impacted by production losses at Jaguar Land Rover due to a cyberattack, higher costs, unfavourable currency movement, and tariff-related expenses. Ongoing geopolitical and supply chain risks also weighed on sentiment.

Trent Loses Investor Confidence

Retail arm Trent emerged as the third biggest laggard. The stock fell 39%, wiping out nearly ₹1.02 lakh crore in investor wealth.

Growth concerns and high valuations hurt the stock, with sales growth slowing to below 20%, compared to 40–50% earlier. A weak Q3 business update further disappointed investors.

Other Tata Group Laggards

Tejas Networks was the worst performer, plunging 62% in a year.

Stocks such as Indian Hotels, Voltas, Tata Technologies, Tata Elxsi, Tata Chemicals, Tata Teleservices and Tata Power lost between ₹5,000 crore and ₹11,000 crore each, adding to the group’s overall decline.

Tata Steel And Titan Offer Some Relief

Despite the broader weakness, a few Tata companies performed well. Tata Steel gained 34%, adding around ₹59,177 crore to market capitalisation amid a strong rally in metal stocks.

Titan also stood out, rising 18% over the year on the back of strong jewellery demand and higher gold prices. It added nearly ₹55,926 crore to investor wealth and recently touched a 52-week high.

Other positive contributors included Tata Consumer Products, Tata Communications and Tata Investment Corporation.

Conclusion

While the Tata Group saw a significant erosion in market value over the past year, driven mainly by TCS, Tata Motors PV and Trent, select stocks like Tata Steel and Titan helped cushion the fall. The group’s performance highlights the sharp divergence across sectors amid changing global and domestic conditions.
