Tata Motors’ Demerger Takes Effect Today — Key Details for Investors

From October 1, Tata Motors’ demerger becomes effective, splitting its commercial vehicle (CV) and passenger vehicle (PV) divisions into two separate listed companies.

What’s happening

The demerger is now legally binding.

The record date to determine eligible shareholders is set for October 14, pending final approval by the Registrar of Companies.

After the record date and other formalities, the new CV entity is expected to be listed by early November.

Share Swap Ratio

The demerger follows a 1:1 share swap ratio. For every one Tata Motors share held, investors will automatically receive one share in the new CV company.

Investors do not need to take any action — the shares will be credited to demat accounts once the process is completed.

Impact on Investors’ Holdings

If you own 50 shares of Tata Motors on the record date, you will retain 50 shares in the PV business (to be renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd, or TMPVL).

You will also receive 50 shares in the newly listed CV company (to be called Tata Motors Ltd, or TML).

After the demerger, your portfolio will reflect two separate stocks with independent tickers and valuations.

Why the Demerger Matters

The move is intended to unlock shareholder value, improve strategic focus, and enable more efficient capital allocation.

The PV business, which includes Tata’s electric vehicle division and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), will remain under TMPVL.

The CV business will be spun off into the newly formed TML.
