Mumbai: Tata Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons, has entered into an alliance with the Tokyo-based Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd for cooperation in various business areas, it said here Tuesday. In a regulatory statement, the company said the agreement aims to enhance cross-market capabilities and helping each other in gaining a deeper understanding of the Indian and Japanese markets. The pact will also strive to strengthen cooperation in areas such as project and infrastructure financing and treasury products.
