Corporate changes
Ongoing restructuring at Tata Motors
The product showcase comes as Tata Motors is undergoing a restructuring process. Once approved by the regulators, TML Commercial Vehicles Limited will be renamed Tata Motors Limited. The shares of the new entity will be listed on Indian stock exchanges after the completion of this process. A part of the $180 billion Tata Group, Tata Motors makes commercial vehicles from sub-1-tonne to 60-tonne trucks and 9-seater to 71-seater busses.
Strategic focus
Commitment to regional development goals
Asif Shamim, Head of International Business at Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles, highlighted the company's six-decade partnership with the MENA region. He said, "As the region advances its economic diversification and infrastructure ambitions, there is a growing demand for smarter and efficient mobility solutions."
