The Tata group has exited from its joint venture — Tata Honeywell Ltd — by selling its 40.62 per cent stake to Honeywell Asia Pacific Inc, the foreign promoter of the company, at a consideration of around Rs 126 crore.
Tata Honeywell is a joint venture between Tata Industries Ltd and Honeywell Inc USA, which is the parent company of Honeywell Asia-Pacific.
Tata Group’s decision is consistent with its overall strategy to divest from non-core businesses.
Tata Honeywell is expected to continue as the supplier of process management and control system solutions to the Tata Group in the same manner as in the past.
Kishore Chaukar, managing director, Tata Industries, ‘‘We have had an excellent and fruitful 16-year relationship with Honeywell and wish it increases its ownership of the company’’.
