Tata Motors Unveils Bold Demerger Plan: Commercial and Passenger Vehicles to Head Separate Publicly Listed Companies

Tata Motors plans to split into two publicly listed companies: one for Commercial Vehicles and related investments, and another for Passenger Vehicles, including EV and JLR.

The Board of Directors of Tata Motors Limited has approved the demerger proposal through an NCLT scheme of arrangement.

This split won’t impact the shareholders’ ownership in both listed entities.

Since 2021, Commercial Vehicles, Passenger Vehicles (including EV), and JLR have been operating independently, each with its CEO.

The demerger follows the earlier separation of PV and EV businesses in 2022, allowing each business to pursue its strategies effectively.

Limited synergies exist between Commercial Vehicles and Passenger Vehicles, but significant synergies are expected across PV, EV, and JLR.

Tata Sons Chairman, N Chandrasekaran, highlights that the three independent automotive units are delivering consistent performance. The demerger aims to capitalize on market opportunities, providing increased focus, agility, and growth prospects for employees, ultimately leading to an enhanced experience for customers and greater value for shareholders.

The NCLT scheme requires approval from the TML Board of Directors and subsequent shareholder, creditor, and regulatory approvals, taking 12-15 months.

The demerger is expected to have no adverse effects on employees, customers, or the overall business.
