Tata Power whose core business is to generate, transmit and distribute electricity has made no money to investors in the last one decade. That is a big blunder considering it is one of the largest power generation companies in the country. One of the reasons is the company's huge debt levels which stood at โน43,559 crore at the end of March 2021 compared to the companyโs market capitalisation of โน44,447 crore.
Chinaโs stock markets are some of the largest in the world, with total market capitalization reaching RMB 79 trillion (US$12.2 trillion) in 2020. Chinaโs stock markets are seen as a crucial tool for driving economic growth, in particular for financing the countryโs rapidly growing high-tech sectors.Although traditionally closed off to overseas investors, Chinaโs financial markets have gradually been loosening restrictions over the past couple of decades. At the same time, reforms have sought to make it easier for Chinese companies to list on onshore stock exchanges, and new programs have been launched in attempts to lure some of Chinaโs most coveted overseas-listed companies back to the country.
