What happened

Tata Group listed firms lost ₹10 lakh crore since Ratan Tata's death amid governance concerns. Jewellers ramp up gold exchange programmes as Modi pushes import

Key facts

  • ₹10 lakh crore
  • ₹3 trillion
  • 7,150 apprentices
  • 1,800 apprentices
  • ₹15,000-20,000 stipend
  • 5% stock surge

Why this matters

Tata's cap erosion opens selective bolt-on windows in adjacent retail and jewellery assets where governance discounts are mispriced, while gold exchange scheme expansion hints at consolidation plays as import curbs squeeze smaller jewellers.
