Tata Marcopolo is a bus-manufacturing company which was established as a joint venture between Tata Motors (51%) and the Brazil-based [[Marcopolo S.A.]] (49%). The company manufactures and assembles fully built buses and coaches targeted at developing mass rapid transportation systems. It uses technology and expertise in chassis and aggregates from Tata Motors, and know-how in processes and systems for bodybuilding and bus body design from Marcopolo. Tata Marcopolo's low-floor city bus is widely used by transport corporations in many Indian cities. Its manufacturing facility is based in [[Dharwad]], Karnataka, India and [[Lucknow]], Uttar Pradesh, India.


Tata Motors is expected to buy the 49% stake held by its partner Marcopolo in the bus-making joint venture for ₹100 crore by February 2021. The subsidiary will continue with the ‘Marcopolo’ trademark for a minimum of three years with a non-compete provision in India for a corresponding period.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.carandbike.com/news/tata-motors-to-buy-remaining-49-share-in-tata-marcopolo-motors-for-nearly-rs-100-crore-2339829|title=Tata Motors To Buy Remaining 49% Share In Tata Marcopolo Motors For Nearly ₹ 100 Crore |access-date=23 December 2020}}</ref>
In December 2020, Marcopolo and Tata Motors came to an agreement, whereby Tata Motors would purchase the 49 percent stake held by Marcopolo in the bus-making joint venture for [[Indian rupee|₹]]100 [[crore]], bringing curtains to the 14-year old partnership and paving the way for a smooth exit for the Brazilian company.

Tata Motors Limited, also known as TML Commercial Vehicles Ltd, or Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles Limited is an Indian multinational commercial vehicle manufacturer, headquartered in Mumbai and part of the Tata Group. The company produces trucks, vans, and buses.[4]

The company was incorporated in 2024 as TML Commercial Vehicles, after Tata Motors announced the demerger of its commercial vehicles business. In October 2025, the demerger came into effect and the demerged entity TML Commercial Vehicles was subsequently renamed Tata Motors, while the original Tata Motors was renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.[5][6]

The company's notable subsidiaries include Tata Daewoo, Tata Marcopolo, and the proposed acquisition of Iveco. Tata Motors has joint ventures with Hitachi (Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery) and Stellantis, which makes engines and vehicle components for Fiat Chrysler and Tata-branded vehicles.

Tata Motors is listed on the BSE and NSE, and is a constituent of the BSE SENSEX and NIFTY 50 benchmark indices.[7]

History[edit | edit source]

See also: Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles § History

Background[edit | edit source]

Tata Group entered the commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz of Germany in which Tata developed a manufacturing facility in Jamshedpur for Daimler lorries.[8] By November 1954 Tata and Daimler manufactured their first goods carrier chassis at the Jamshedpur plant with 90-100 hp and capacity of 3-5 tons.[9]

Following the liberalization of economy in India in 1991, Mercedes-Benz partnered with TELCO to officially enter the Indian market to produce and launch the W124 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, marking entry of luxury brand segment in India.[10] However, the car was not a success due to public perception, as Mercedes Benz had transitioned to the W210 E-Class globally, but over the years, the W124 has been positively received for reliability and simplicity.[11] Mercedes Benz eventually launched the W210 E-class in 1998 and produced the car in partnership with TELCO with CKD kits.

In the 2000s, Tata Motors made a series of acquisitions and partnerships, including the acquisition of Daewoo's South Korea-based truck manufacturing unit,[12] a joint venture with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, Tata Marcopolo Bus,[13] and the acquisition of Hispano Carrocera.[14]

Demerger[edit | edit source]

In March 2024, the original Tata Motors announced that it would split into two separate listed entities through a demerger. Consequently, the commercial vehicles business was transferred to its wholly owned subsidiary called TML Commercial Vehicles Limited, which was incorporated on 23 June 2024. The India passenger vehicles business, Jaguar Land Rover, and the majority stake in Tata Technologies remained under Tata Motors.[15][16][17]

The demerger went into effect on 1 October 2025.[18] After the demerger, TML Commercial Vehicles was renamed Tata Motors, while the original Tata Motors was renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.[19]

Operations[edit | edit source]

Tata Motors has commercial vehicle manufacturing plants at Jamshedpur (Jharkhand), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), and Dharwad (Karnataka).

Tata Daewoo[edit | edit source]

Main article: Tata Daewoo
Tata LPT Trucks made at overseas plants

Tata Daewoo (officially Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company and formerly Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company) is a commercial vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do South Korea, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors. It is the second-largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in South Korea and was acquired by Tata Motors in 2004. The principal reasons behind the acquisition were to reduce Tata's dependence on the Indian commercial vehicle market (which was responsible for around 94% of its sales in the MHCV segment and around 84% in the light commercial vehicle segment) and expand its product portfolio by leveraging on Daewoo's strengths in the heavy-tonnage sector.

Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to develop trucks such as Novus and World Truck and buses including GloBus and StarBus. In 2012, Tata began developing a new line to manufacture competitive and fuel-efficient commercial vehicles to face the competition posed by the entry of international brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Navistar into the Indian market.[20]

Tata Marcopolo[edit | edit source]

Main article: Tata Marcopolo

Tata Marcopolo is a bus-manufacturing company which was established as a joint venture between Tata Motors (51%) and the Brazil-based Marcopolo S.A. (49%). The company manufactures and assembles fully built buses and coaches targeted at developing mass rapid transportation systems. It uses technology and expertise in chassis and aggregates from Tata Motors, and know-how in processes and systems for bodybuilding and bus body design from Marcopolo. Tata Marcopolo's low-floor city bus is widely used by transport corporations in many Indian cities. Its manufacturing facility is based in Dharwad, Karnataka, India and Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.

In December 2020, Marcopolo and Tata Motors came to an agreement, whereby Tata Motors would purchase the 49 percent stake held by Marcopolo in the bus-making joint venture for ₹100 crore, bringing curtains to the 14-year old partnership and paving the way for a smooth exit for the Brazilian company. The deal was completed on 29 August 2022.[21] The deal allowed Tata Motors to continue using the ‘Marcopolo’ trademark for a minimum of three years with a non-compete provision in India for a corresponding period.

The Tata 407 is a light commercial vehicle (LCV) that has sold over 500,000 units since its launch in 1986.[26] In India, this vehicle dominates market share of the LCV category, accounting for close to 75% of LCV sales. The 407 model range includes trucks, tippers, pick-ups and vehicles for agri/food products, construction, light mining and services.[27]

Tata Ace[edit | edit source]

Main article: Tata Ace
Tata Ace EX2 (Indonesia)

Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed sub-one-ton minitruck, was launched in May 2005. The minitruck was a huge success in India with auto analysts claiming that Ace had changed the dynamics of the light commercial vehicle (LCV) market in the country by creating a new market segment termed the small commercial vehicle segment. Ace rapidly emerged as the first choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and rural transport.

By October 2005, LCV sales of Tata Motors had grown by 36.6% to 28,537 units due to the rising demand for Ace. The Ace was built with a load body produced by Autoline Industries.[28]

By 2005, Autoline was producing 300 load bodies per day for Tata Motors. Ace is still a top seller for TML with 500,000 units sold by June 2010.[29] In 2011, Tata Motors invested Rs 1000 crore in Dharwad Plant, Karnataka, with the capacity of 90,000 units annually and launched two models of 0.5-T capacity as Tata Ace Zip, Magic Iris.[30] Ace has also been exported to several Asian, European, South American, and African countries and all-electric models are sold through Polaris Industries' Global Electric Motorcars division. In Sri Lanka, it is sold through Diesel & Motor Engineering (DIMO) PLC under the name of DIMO Batta.
