These shareholders will get one share of the demerged entity for every one share of Tata Motors they own. The company said the equity shares to be issued by TML Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMLCV) will be listed on both BSE and NSE on October 14.

The demerger has already become effective from October 1. The stock adjustment will take place tomorrow.

About Tata Motors demerger:

In August last year, Tata Motors’ board approved the demerger of its commercial and passenger vehicle divisions into two separate listed entities in order to sharpen business focus and capitalise on future growth opportunities.

Following the demerger, the passenger vehicle arm will be renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPVL), while the commercial vehicles entity will be listed in November as Tata Motors (TML).

The 1:1 demerger will create two focused entities — Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles (TMLCV) and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV).
