- Tata Motors Limited (TATAMOTORS.BO) is an Indian multinational commercial vehicle manufacturer that produces trucks, vans, buses, and related vehicles; it ranks as India's leading producer in this segment. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of commercial vehicles including the Tata Ace series (small commercial vehicles such as Tata Ace, Ace Zip, Super Ace, and Ace EV), Tata Intra range (light commercial vehicles like Intra V10, V20, V30, V50), medium and heavy trucks (such as Tata 407, 709, 809, 1518C, 1618C, Prima, SIGNA, and Ultra series), buses (including Starbus, CityRide, and Divo), and specialized defense vehicles; it also provides engineering services through subsidiaries like Tata Technologies. Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, Tata Motors operates manufacturing facilities in India (Jamshedpur, Pune, Lucknow, Pantnagar, Dharwad, Sanand), South Korea (via Tata Daewoo), Spain, and other locations, with sales presence in over 26 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.
In a landmark restructuring completed in 2025, Tata Motors demerged its commercial vehicles business into a separate listed entity, TML Commercial Vehicles Limited (subsequently renamed Tata Motors), while the original entity was renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles to house passenger vehicles, electric vehicles, and Jaguar Land Rover; the new commercial vehicles listing debuted on Indian stock exchanges on November 12, 2025, on a 1:1 share entitlement ratio for shareholders. This demerger, approved by the board in March 2024 and shareholders in May 2025, aims to enhance focus, agility, and value unlocking by separating cyclical commercial operations from growth-oriented passenger and EV segments. Concurrently, the company announced the acquisition of Italy's Iveco truck and bus business for 3.8 billion euros ($4.36 billion) to expand its global commercial vehicle footprint in Europe, Latin America, and beyond, with complementary product offerings and minimal overlap; Tata Motors plans to raise 1 billion euros via equity and stake sales to fund this deal while introducing Iveco products in India and Tata vehicles in Iveco markets.
