“The proposed demerger will bring greater strategic clarity and agility, enabling a more focused approach to execution and value creation, delivering superior experiences for customers,

rewarding careers for employees, and long-term returns for shareholders,” Chandrasekaran, who is also the chairman of Tata Motors, said in the company’s integrated annual report ahead of its

annual general meeting in June.

To empower each business to pursue its distinct vision, the demerger of Tata Motors into two listed entities—commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles (including EV and JLR)—is progressing

as planned, said Chandrasekaran.

“We step into FY26 with confidence in our strategy, strength in our execution, and belief in our people. We remain vigilant to worldwide volatility, including the impact of changes in global

trade conditions and the varying degrees of adoption of electric vehicles across different markets and evolving technologies, to accelerate our production plans while delivering value to

our customers. I remain confident in the future of our brands and the resilience of our business. Our focus remains on delivering consistent growth, enriching customer experience, and

innovating for a cleaner, safer, and more connected mobility future,” said Chandrasekaran.

Tata Motors’ forthcoming demerger marks a pivotal transformation: forming two independent, publicly listed companies — one dedicated to personal mobility, including passenger vehicles and

Jaguar Land Rover, and the other focused on commercial mobility solutions.

In March 2024, Tata Motors’ board approved the proposal of demerger of the automaker into two separate listed companies – one housing its commercial vehicles business and the other its

passenger vehicles businesses including electric vehicles (EV) and British marque Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). The demerger will be implemented through an NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal)

scheme of arrangement and all shareholders of Tata Motors will continue to have the identical shareholding in both the listed entities.

Over the past few years, the commercial vehicles (CV), passenger vehicles (PV+EV), and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) businesses of Tata Motors have been operating independently under their

respective CEOs. The demerger is a logical progression of the subsidiarisation of PV and EV businesses done earlier in 2022, the automaker said last year.

While there are limited synergies between CV and PV businesses, there are considerable synergies to be harnessed across PV, EV and JLR, particularly in the areas of EVs, autonomous vehicles

and vehicle software.
