Tata group pulls out of bank licence fray

Mumbai: The Tata group withdrew its application for a banking licence, months before the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to open up the sector to a new set of new private banks in Asia’s third largest economy.
Tata Sons Ltd, the holding company of the Tata group, said in a statement that its “current financial services operating model best supports the current needs of the Tata group’s domestic and overseas strategy, and provides adequate operating flexibility to its companies, while securing the interests of the group’s diverse stakeholder base”.
RBI said in a press release that has accepted the withdrawal.
That leaves 25 applicants, including the Aditya Birla Group, the Bajaj Group and Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group, in the race for a banking licence.
Tata Sons added in its statement that said it had written to RBI on Tuesday withdrawing the application after a detailed evaluation of the “guidelines for licensing of new banks in the private sector” and analysis of clarifications.
