Tata Motors’ shares are likely to attract attention following the approval of its plan to split into two listed entities, separating its passenger vehicle (PV) and commercial vehicle (CV) businesses. This restructuring, announced in March 2024, aims to unlock value by allowing each unit to pursue independent growth strategies.

The PV unit will include the luxury Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) brand, while the CV arm will focus on trucks, buses, and other commercial offerings. The demerger plan was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders, with 99.9995% voting in favour. Each shareholder will receive equal stakes in the two new entities.
In its latest update, Tata Motors reported a 6.1% year-on-year decline in total vehicle sales, with 72,753 units sold in April 2025, down from 77,521 units in the same month last year. Domestic sales fell by 7%, with PV sales dropping 5%, including a 6% fall in domestic PV sales. CV sales also declined by 8%, largely due to a 23% drop in the Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV) and pickup segment.
