Tata Motors Limited has formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Tata Motors Foundation, to oversee and implement its social impact and welfare activities. The foundation has been registered as a not-for-profit company under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, and received its Certificate of Incorporation on July 17, 2025, from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

The foundation has an authorized share capital of ₹50 lakh, divided into 5,00,000 equity shares valued at ₹10 each. The initial paid-up capital is ₹10 lakh, consisting of 1,00,000 equity shares. The shareholding structure includes several Tata Group companies. Tata Motors Limited holds a 45% stake, followed by Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited with 40%. Tata Technologies Limited holds 10%, while Tata Motors Digital.AI Labs Limited and Tata Motors Global Services Limited each own 2%. The remaining 1% is held by Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited.

The newly formed entity will focus on planning and executing projects related to education, health, environmental sustainability, rural development, and other socially relevant programs. As a Section 8 company, Tata Motors Foundation will function as a non-profit organization, enabling it to operate exclusively for charitable objectives without the intent of distributing profits.

The creation of the foundation was formally communicated to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, as part of the company’s disclosure obligations under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing was made by Company Secretary Maloy Kumar Gupta.

Tata Motors clarified in the disclosure that the foundation’s formation does not qualify as a related party transaction, and the capital investment is outside the scope of such classification. This move reflects Tata Motors’ structured approach to social welfare and public good, ensuring long-term alignment with its values and sustainability efforts.
