A Holding Company is a parent corporation that owns a controlling interest in one or more subsidiary companies but does not directly produce goods or services itself. Its primary function is to own shares of other companies and oversee their operations. In the Indian market, prominent examples include Tata Sons and Bajaj Holdings. Investors analyse holding companies for the discount or premium at which they trade relative to the sum-of-parts value of their subsidiaries—a metric known as the holding company discount.
