Out of the 23% sale, Tata Motors will offload 8.11 crore shares, or a 20% stake, in the company. Among other shareholders, Alpha TC Holdings plans to sell up to 97.16 lakh shares (2.40%) and Tata Capital Growth Fund I will offload up to 48.58 lakh equity shares (1.20%).

Stock market experts said that Tata Technologies IPO contains shareholding of Tata Motors and the auto major is offering its shares for sale in this public issue, which is 100 per cent offer for sale (OFS). This means, net proceeds of Tata Technologies IPO will strengthen the balance sheet of Tata Motors instead of Tata Technologies. They said that Tata Motors had acquired Tata Technologies shares at a price of ₹7.40 apiece (as mentioned in the DRHP). So, market is expecting huge monetary benefit for Tata Motors from this upcoming IPO of Tata Technologies.
