Most importantly, this IPO would be completely OFS, which means net proceeds of Tata Technologies IPO will go to the balance sheet of Tata Motors and other shareholders instead of Tata Technologies Ltd. So, the IPO is expected to streamline cash flow in the Indian auto giant and this is the reason for uptrend in Tata Motors share, which is expected to continue further.”

Weakness in US dollar

“Even though US dollar bounced back from one-month low last week, outlook for US dollar remains weak in the wake of US debt ceiling and hence FIIs are expected to continue buying in Indian stock market. As auto and banking are favourite sectors of the foreign investors, Tata Motors is expected to continue attracting FIIs in short to medium term,” said Avinash Gorakshkar.
