Tata Motors Announces Demerger To Create Two Distinct Listed Entities: CV And PV

The board of directors of Tata Motors Limited has approved the demerger proposal, splitting Tata Motors into two separate listed companies. Will it impact customers? Here are the details. Read on

Tata Motors, one of India's leading automotive giants, is set to undergo a significant transformation. In a move aimed at enhancing focus and agility, the company has announced plans to demerge its businesses into two separate listed entities. 

The decision, approved by the board of directors of Tata Motors Limited (TML), will see the formation of two distinct companies – one dedicated to the commercial vehicles (CV) business and its related investments, and the other focusing on the passenger vehicles (PV) businesses, including PV, EV, JLR, and their related investments.

Tata Motors asserts that this strategic move comes at a period of strong performance by Tata Motors' various businesses. Over the past few years, the CV, PV, and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) units have successfully implemented distinct strategies, leading to independent operations under their respective CEOs since 2021. 

The demerger is seen as a logical progression of the earlier subsidiarisation of the PV and EV businesses in 2022, aimed at empowering each business to pursue its strategies for higher growth and agility while reinforcing accountability.

N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, said, “Tata Motors has scripted a strong turnaround in the last few years. The three automotive business units are now operating independently and delivering consistent performance. This demerger will help them better capitalise on the opportunities provided by the market, by enhancing their focus and agility. This will lead to a superior experience for our customers, better growth prospects for our employees and, enhanced value for our shareholders.”

Demerger Process: Explained

The demerger, which will be implemented through an NCLT scheme of arrangement, will not alter the shareholding pattern of existing Tata Motors shareholders in the two listed entities. The process is expected to take 12-15 months to complete and will be subject to approval from the TML Board of Directors, as well as necessary shareholder, creditor, and regulatory approvals.

Impact Of Demerger

While there are limited synergies between the CV and PV businesses, considerable synergies exist across PV, EV, and JLR, especially in areas such as EVs, autonomous vehicles, and vehicle software. The demerger is expected to help secure these synergies and further strengthen Tata Motors' position in these key areas.

Importantly, Tata Motors has assured that the demerger will have no adverse impact on its employees, customers, or business partners.

What We Think?

Overall, the demerger of Tata Motors' businesses marks a significant milestone in the company's journey. By creating two separate listed entities, Tata Motors aims to enhance focus, agility, and synergies within its various automotive businesses.

As the company moves forward with this strategic restructuring, it can ideally deliver superior value to its stakeholders while continuing its strong performance in the Indian and global automotive markets.
