As a part of the scheme, TML will demerge its commercial vehicle undertaking involving the CV business including all the assets, liabilities and employees relating to the business and all its related investments into TMLCV. Further, the existing passenger vehicle business in TMPV, will be merged into TML, the existing listed entity.
Once scheme takes effect, both TMLCV and TML will be renamed, resulting in two separate listed entities– the commercial vehicle business and its related investments, under the name TML, and the passenger vehicle business, the Electric Vehicle (TPEM) business, JLR and their related investments, under the name TMPV. Tata Motors Limited’s total income relating to commercial vehicles business was ?73,116.64 crore, representing ~99% of the total income for FY 2023-24, as per the company’s standalone financial results.
Pursuant to the scheme, shareholders of TML will receive one share of TMLCV of face value Rs 2/- fully paid up for every 1 fully paid-up share of Rs 2/- held in TML of the same class (“Entitlement Ratio”).
These actions would further empower the respective business groups to pursue their differentiated strategies with greater agility while reinforcing accountability and will enhance shareholder value. The arrangement will not have any adverse impact on employees, customers, creditors, and other business partners. The completion of the scheme is subject to all the necessary shareholder, creditor and regulatory approvals which can take around 12-15 months to complete.
