What it changes for investors and the market
If completed, the transaction would reduce SP Group's direct holding in Tata Sons and bring in cash for debt repayment. For investors tracking the group, the key question is how much of the 18.4% stake would be sold and at what valuation. Neither figure is confirmed in the reports available to us.
