Tata Motors is set to split into two separate listed entities, rewarding shareholders with free shares
Tata Motors is planning to divide its business into two separate companies, giving shareholders one free share in the new company after the split. This demerger will create one company for commercial vehicles and related investments, while the other will focus on passenger vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), and their related investments.
The demerger is being carried out through a National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) scheme of arrangement. Shareholders of Tata Motors Limited will have the same shareholding in both new companies. The company will announce a record date to determine who is eligible to receive the new equity shares.
“The proposed demerger will help us improve focus and make us more agile to capitalize on opportunities in the CV market globally,” said Girish Wagh, Executive Director of Tata Motors, in the company’s Annual Report for 2023-24.
