Tata Motors first issued Tata Motors DVR shares in 2008, followed by a Qualified Institutional Placement in 2010 and a rights issue in 2015. However, recent changes in regulations prohibit issuing shares with separate voting rights, making Tata Motors the sole listed company to offer such shares. Now, Tata Motors plans to issue 7 ordinary shares in exchange for 10 Tata Motors DVR shares.
Tata Motors’ performance in the June quarter showed a significant improvement compared to the same period last year, as it reported a net profit of Rs 3203 crore, marking a positive shift from the loss of Rs 5006.60 crore in April-June 2022. Strong sales in its luxury car division, Jaguar Land Rover, and healthy margins in the passenger vehicles business contributed to the impressive profits. The company also experienced a 42% increase in revenue on an annual basis, reaching Rs 1.02 lakh crore.
