Tata Motors Limited has incorporated a new subsidiary called Tata Motors Foundation, a not-for-profit company registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. The company received its Certificate of Incorporation from the Central Registration Centre, Ministry of Corporate Affairs on July 17, 2025.
The foundation has been established with an authorized share capital of ₹50 lakh, divided into 5,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each. The initial paid-up capital stands at ₹10 lakh, comprising 1,00,000 equity shares of face value ₹10 each.
Multiple entities within the Tata Group hold stakes in the foundation. Tata Motors Limited holds the largest share at 45 percent, followed by Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited with 40 percent. Tata Technologies Limited owns 10 percent, while Tata Motors Digital.AI Labs Limited and Tata Motors Global Services Limited each hold 2 percent stakes. Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited holds the remaining 1 percent.
The foundation's primary purpose is to promote, undertake, plan, organize, implement, and execute various corporate social responsibility activities. As a Section 8 company under the Companies Act, 2013, the foundation operates as a not-for-profit entity, which allows it to pursue charitable and social welfare objectives.
Tata Motors disclosed this development to the stock exchanges in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company filed the necessary documentation with both the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited through its Company Secretary, Maloy Kumar Gupta.
The establishment of the foundation represents Tata Motors' commitment to structured corporate social responsibility initiatives. Section 8 companies are specifically designed for charitable purposes and are exempt from certain regulatory requirements that apply to regular for-profit companies, making them suitable vehicles for corporate social responsibility activities.
The foundation's incorporation does not constitute a related party transaction for Tata Motors, as clarified in the regulatory filing. The company stated that the initial subscription to the share capital falls outside the purview of related party transaction regulations.
