Commercial Vehicle Arm Retains Tata Motors’ Legacy Name

In a strategic branding move, Tata Group decided that the legacy name ‘Tata Motors Limited’ would remain with the commercial vehicle (CV) business, which has been the company’s foundation since its inception.

Market Reaction and Valuation

Following a special trading session on Tuesday, the commercial vehicle business was valued at approximately Rs. 260.75 per share. This figure was derived from the difference between Tata Motors’ pre-demerger closing price of Rs. 660.75 and the post-demerger opening price of Rs. 400 for the passenger vehicle business. Market analysts expect the move to unlock long-term value by giving investors greater visibility into each business’s performance.
