TC Travel and Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Capital, will scale up its operations in a revenue-model structure, offering end-to-end travel solution to customers. Besides, it would also offer travel-related finance solutions.

"The travel segment would be our focus and we plan to spruce it up," a senior executive at Tata Capital told HT. "We want to focus on retail customers in a big way."

Tata Capital has already tied up with Axis Bank to launch the Tata Travel Card. The card will provide security and convenience to cardholders when they travel overseas.
