Tata Motors Completes Major Transformation with Demerger into Two Independent Companies
Tata Motors' long-running transformation process is now complete. The company has officially split its business into two parts, Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMLCV) and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd (TMPV), marking one of the most significant corporate restructurings in recent years.
Tata Motors Forms New Company - TMLCV
Tata Motors has formed a new company, Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMLCV). Those who previously held Tata Motors shares have now received shares of this new company in their demat accounts.Following the demerger, which takes effect on October 1, 2025, Tata Motors now exists as two completely separate companies:
Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMLCV) that will now handle trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles.
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd (TMPV) that will handle cars, electric vehicles (EVs), and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) operations.
Both companies will now operate independently and trade on the stock market under different names.
Share Distribution and Demat Update
According to the demerger plan, every Tata Motors shareholder will receive one share of Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Ltd for every one share of Tata Motors they currently hold.This 1:1 ratio means that if an investor previously held 10 shares of Tata Motors, they now also have 10 shares of TMLCV.
Importantly, this process has not altered any shareholder’s stake, nor has it required anyone to pay or return any shares.
Tata Motors emphasized that the entire restructuring was carried out in a transparent and fair manner.
Key Dates for Investors
Investors who held Tata Motors shares until October 14, 2025, received TMLCV shares in their demat accounts on October 16, 2025.Although investors have already received the new shares, trading in TMLCV shares has not yet begun. Until these shares receive official listing approval from the BSE and NSE, they cannot be bought or sold in the market.
Listing Timeline and Market Expectations
According to the company’s documents, the listing process for newly created companies generally takes 45 to 60 days. This means that trading could begin by late November or early December 2025.Market experts believe that once listed, TMLCV shares could attract strong investor interest due to the company’s dominant position in India’s commercial vehicle segment.
Typically, after a demerger, companies must apply for listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The approval process usually takes around six to eight weeks.
Once the listing is approved, both TMLCV and TMPV will start trading under their own independent names.
Impact on Investors and Shareholding Pattern
Investors have not incurred any financial cost during this restructuring. The number of shares held remains unchanged, ensuring that there has been no capital reduction or loss in the surrender value of any share.The company has also clarified that necessary guidelines will soon be issued to determine the purchase price of shares in both newly formed companies.
This will help investors better understand their portfolio from taxation and accounting perspectives.

Background of the Demerger
Tata Motors had first announced the demerger in March 2024. The company’s goal was to separate its two core businesses - commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles - giving each greater freedom and agility to operate efficiently within its segment.This move was part of Tata Motors’ long-term transformation strategy, which aimed to make the company more flexible, specialized, and responsive to market trends.
Statements from Leadership
Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran described this demerger as a logical next step in Tata Motors’ ongoing transformation journey.He stated that splitting the business into two distinct entities would enable sharper focus, improve business agility, and accelerate growth in both segments.
According to him, the restructuring would not only enhance shareholder value but also create new growth opportunities for employees, partners, and customers.
Strategic Significance
This demerger allows TMLCV to concentrate fully on India’s growing commercial vehicle market, where demand for electric buses, trucks, and logistics vehicles is rising rapidly.Meanwhile, TMPV can focus exclusively on passenger vehicles, especially its EV lineup and Jaguar Land Rover, which continues to be a strong contributor to global revenues.
With independent operations, both companies can pursue tailored strategies, attract sector-specific investments, and respond faster to market challenges.
What This Means for Shareholders
For Tata Motors shareholders, this means they now hold ownership in two separate listed companies each with a clear business direction.Investors who believe in India’s infrastructure and logistics growth may prefer TMLCV, while those bullish on the EV revolution and luxury cars may focus on TMPV.
Once trading begins, market behavior will determine how each entity’s valuation evolves, but overall, this move is expected to unlock shareholder value and bring transparency to both businesses.
Conclusion
The completion of Tata Motors’ demerger marks the beginning of a new chapter for one of India’s most iconic automakers.With Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Ltd and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd now standing independently, both companies are positioned to scale up operations, attract investments, and lead innovation in their respective sectors.
