S&P Global Ratings said its review will assess whether the potential of extraordinary support for the group entities from Tata Sons is greater than what it previously factored.
"This is due to increasing operational and management linkages within the group," the rating agency said, adding that Tata Sons has a record of supporting group entities in events of stress.
The group provided material extraordinary financial support to entities such as Tata Teleservices Ltd and Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd, an erstwhile subsidiary of Tata Power, which has now been merged with Tata Power, it added.
"We are also undertaking the review because we believe operational integration between Tata Sons and group entities, as well as between group entities, will continue to increase," it said.
