Official Insights From Tata Motors
Speaking about the restructuring of the Tata commercial vehicle business, Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors, said, “The separation has enabled the business to chart its independent territory and reach its aspirations. The restructuring exercise - which received critical inputs from N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Motors - is likely to be completed ahead of the listing of the CV entity.
He further added, “The exercise is nearing completion and it will help the CV business achieve more resilient financial outcomes through the cyclical swing characteristic of the truck business. Due to the behaviour of the market and customers, and also because of some of the areas that Tata Motors has entered, we have identified 8 sub-segments within the CV business. Each of these are now operating independently.”
“Tata Motors’ CV business will actively pursue plans to expand beyond South Asia and Africa into North Africa, the Middle East and ASEAN countries by developing suitable products, distribution, and financing.”
Tata Commercial Vehicle Performance In 2024
In 2024, truck and bus sales were negatively impacted by election-related uncertainty, decreased infrastructure spending, and a deteriorating economy, which primarily affected Tata Motors. According to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) sales report, its market share decreased from 36.42% to 34.43% during that time, while its domestic sales decreased 5.3% YoY to 3,45,928 units from the previous year.
What We Think
A separate balance sheet will provide more information and transparency, even though the company has been reporting the CV and PV businesses’ financials separately for a few years. After the public listing, it would be beneficial if the company offered segmented performance within the CV business. This would help investors in adopting a more accurate valuation approach.
