Singapore state investor Temasek’s plan to sell its 10 per cent stake in Tata Play to its joint venture partner Tata Sons is delayed due to a valuation mismatch for the Indian satellite TV broadcaster, said banking sources.


Tata Sons is offering a lower valuation than $1 billion made for Tata Play, said the sources. Tata Sons has delayed listing the company after filing a confidential prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
