Tata Motors to demerge commercial and passenger vehicle businesses

Tata Motors will separate its passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles businesses into two distinct entities through a demerger. This move aims to unlock value for the company's businesses and enable each entity to pursue its strategies independently. The demerger follows a series of decisions by Tata Motors to run its different businesses separately, including appointing separate CEOs for each unit. Analysts believe the demerger will cushion the passenger vehicle business from the cyclical nature of the commercial auto market and allow the company to leverage synergies in the passenger vehicle business, particularly in the areas of electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and vehicle software.
