Tata Motors Expects Final Approval for Iveco Acquisition by August-End

Tata Motors expects to receive the final regulatory approval for its proposed acquisition of Iveco Group, excluding its defence business, by the end of August 2026. The approval would clear the way for Tata Motors to launch its voluntary tender offer for Iveco Group’s common shares.

“Regulatory approvals are in the final stage, with only one pending approval to be received by the company,” Girish Wagh, executive director, Tata Motors, said during the company’s Q1 FY27 media call.

Tata Motors has responded to all queries raised by the relevant authority and expects to receive the remaining clearance by the end of August. “All the queries of the competent authority have been addressed and the final clearance is expected to be received by the end of August 2026,” Wagh said.
