The analysts added that the company’s management views demergers as the next logical step to further empower each business segment, allowing for more focused growth and operational efficiency. The supportive macroeconomic environment is expected to aid a longer cycle in the commercial vehicle (CV) sector, with a strong double-digit margin target set for the CV business, the analysts added.
In the passenger vehicles (PVs) segment, the Tata Group company targets a 16% market share by FY27 and aims to reach 18-20% by FY30. The brokerage also highlighted that the internal combustion engine (ICE) segment’s margin target is in the double-digits, with the EV business expected to achieve EBITDA break-even by FY26.
