Stock exchanges late on Wednesday night sought clarifications from select Tata companies on reports about Mistry listing out possible write-down risk to the tune of $18 billion while the group stocks have been losing value for three days amid concerns over sudden ouster of Mistry as chairman of Tata Sons, the main holding firm for the group companies.

Regulator Sebi and stock exchanges are keeping a close tab on share movement and trading volumes of all listed companies of the group.

Meanwhile, Tata Steel and Indian Hotels on Thursday said they have always made all relevant disclosures and have no further comments to offer following comments made by ousted Tata Group chairman Cyrus Mistry that Tata group firms could face a potential $18 billion write-down.

"The financial statements of the company are prepared on a going concern basis and present a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company.

As part of preparation of financial statements, the value-in-use of the assets of the company is tested for impairment as per accounting standards," Tata Steel and Indian Hotels Company said in a filing to BSE.
