Tata Motors Share Price Falls 3% Amid Talks to Acquire Iveco’s Truck Business for $4.5 Billion

Tata Motors share price fell over 3% on July 30, hitting ₹665.45 on the BSE. This drop came after news surfaced that the company is in advanced talks to acquire Italy-based Iveco Group’s commercial truck business from the Agnelli family for $4.5 billion.

Details of the Potential Deal

According to Bloomberg, the Iveco Group is planning to split its operations. While its defence division may go to Leonardo SpA, Tata Motors is expected to take over the commercial truck segment. This includes Iveco’s trucks, powertrains, buses, and speciality vehicles.

The deal could be announced soon, possibly alongside Iveco’s upcoming earnings report. If the acquisition happens, it would be Tata Motors' biggest since the $2.3 billion Jaguar Land Rover purchase in 2008 and the Tata Group’s second-largest overall, following the Corus acquisition.

Strategic Benefits for Tata Motors

This acquisition could significantly strengthen Tata Motors’ position in Europe. It would expand the company's manufacturing capabilities and improve its design and tech offerings in the commercial vehicle space.
