Market Performance
Tata Motors shares have been under pressure recently, reflecting a cautious market ahead of its demerger activities. Over the past five sessions, the stock has fallen around 6.9%, closing at ₹669 per share on the BSE.
Investors are closely watching the record dates and corporate actions tied to the demerger, which have influenced short-term trading sentiment.
Demerger Overview
The Tata Motors demerger officially took effect on October 1, 2025, following the approved scheme of arrangement. Under this plan:
- The Commercial Vehicles (CV) business has been demerged into a newly formed company, TML Commercial Vehicles Limited (TMLCV).
- The Passenger Vehicles (PV) business will remain under the existing company, which will be renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited.
Share Entitlement
The demerger follows a 1:1 share entitlement ratio:
- Shareholders will receive one fully paid-up share of ₹2 in TMLCV for every share held in Tata Motors.
Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) Transfer
As part of the scheme, NCDs worth ₹2,300 crore will be transferred to TMLCV.
- The record date for NCD holders is October 10, 2025, to determine eligibility for the transfer.
- The record date for shareholders is October 14, 2025, to finalize entitlements for the CV shares.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Sales Update
Tata Motors’ UK subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover, reported a notable decline in Q2 FY26 sales:
- Wholesale volumes fell 24.2% YoY to 66,165 units.
- Retail sales declined 17.1% YoY to 85,495 units.
- The share of high-margin models like Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Defender accounted for 76.7% of total wholesale volumes, slightly down from 77.2% in the previous quarter but up from 67% YoY.
These figures reflect the impact of a cyber incident, the phasing out of legacy Jaguar models, and incremental US tariffs on exports.
