Following the split, the passenger vehicle division was renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd (TMPVL), while the commercial vehicle entity retained the Tata Motors name (TML).

The board of Tata Motors had approved the 1:1 demerger in August 2024, creating two independent, listed entities—Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles (TMCV) and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV).

The move is intended to sharpen strategic priorities, strengthen operational agility, and capitalise on future growth opportunities across both verticals.
