TMCV Shares Listing: Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran called the listing of Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMCV) a “historic milestone” for the Tata Group, marking the culmination of years of transformation and restructuring at the iconic auto company.

The newly demerged commercial vehicle arm of Tata Motors made its stock market debut on November 12, 2025, listing at Rs 330.25 per share on the BSE, compared to the pre-demerged estimated value of Rs 260–Rs 270.

Speaking at the listing ceremony of Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMCV), Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran described the moment as a landmark in the group’s history.

“For the Tata Group, it’s a very important milestone. Tata Motors has been an iconic company for decades, always mentioned in the same breath as Tata Steel,” he said. “To bring any structural change to such an iconic company is always difficult.”

Chandrasekaran acknowledged the emotional and cultural challenge of separating the passenger and commercial vehicle businesses.

“There are many reasons why such a transformation is challenging,” he noted. “People inside the company passionately believe in it as one solid entity. There’s also a group-wide sentiment attached to its legacy, and millions of people have their own views about the Tata Group.”

The chairman revealed that the idea of a structural shift first emerged nearly a decade ago. “The commercial vehicles business was always profitable, while the passenger cars business was not so. The cash flows from commercial vehicles were being absorbed by passenger vehicles. So, we had to make both companies strong before separating them,” he explained.

He credited the management teams for executing multiple organisational reforms, saying, “We made sure both companies were ready, directionally strong, and capable of sustaining growth.”

Highlighting Tata Motors’ turnaround, Chandrasekaran said becoming debt-free gave the company confidence to chart bold new paths.

“Now we have two strong independent companies, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles. The CV business has always been the backbone of the Indian economy and will continue to innovate with electric, hydrogen, and new-energy vehicles,” he said.

He added that TMCV’s robust balance sheet and strong return metrics would empower it to lead the transition toward sustainable mobility.

“This journey gives them enormous stability to invest and make the transformation required for sustainable mobility,” Chandrasekaran stated.

The Tata Motors demerger officially took effect on October 1, 2025, with the record date set for October 14, 2025. Over 368 crore equity shares with a face value of Rs 2 each were issued to existing Tata Motors shareholders.

The split created two independent listed entities, one focused on passenger vehicles and electric mobility, and the other on commercial vehicles, each with a clear strategic focus and growth roadmap.
