All Charged Up

All Electric ⚡

Tata Motors was the star of the day. The stock rallied +20% after TPG Group announced it will invest $1 billion in the company’s EV business. 💰

What’s the deal bruh? TPG will acquire a 15% stake in the new company. The deal values Tata’s EV business at a whopping $9.1 billion. TPG will infuse the funds in a staggered manner over the next 18 months. The first round is expected to be completed in March 2022. Tata Motors will use these funds to expand its electric offering, set up charging points across India, and develop new-age battery tech. 🔋

N Chandrasekaran, Chairman at Tata Motors said:
I am delighted to have TPG Rise Climate join us in our journey to create a market-shaping electric passenger mobility business in India. We will continue to proactively invest in exciting products that delights customers… We are excited and committed to play a leading role in the Government’s vision to have 30% electric vehicles penetration rate by 2030.

Big picture: Electric vehicles are still at a nascent stage in India. But, Tata Motors dominates the space with a 70%+ market share. The company is clocking over 1,000 units in EV sales every month. As of FY21, Revenues from the EV business stood at Rs 500-600 crore. Tata Motors will gain big-time from its early mover advantage and strong brand equity, say experts. Revival in both passenger car and commercial vehicle business plus easing debt burden are additional positive triggers.✅
