Noida, June 29 (APAC Media): Tata Motors’ commercial vehicle arm on Monday said it is targeting annual sales of around one million units over the medium term after its proposed acquisition of Italy-based Iveco Group, as it aims to expand its global presence, company executives said at the annual general meeting (AGM).
Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran said the deal represents a major step-up in scale for the CV business and will strengthen its position in key international markets.
“The acquisition of Iveco is a transformational move for our commercial vehicles business. It significantly enhances our global capabilities and scale,” Chandrasekaran said.
He said the combined entity is expected to begin operations at an annual volume base of about 600,000 vehicles, with a clear roadmap to reach the one-million-unit milestone over time.

“We are starting from a strong base of roughly 600,000 units annually, and our ambition is to move steadily toward the one-million-vehicle mark as synergies and market expansion play out,” he added.
According to Chandrasekaran, the integration will give Tata Motors access to advanced technologies, diversified product platforms and a stronger presence across Europe and Latin America.
“This partnership brings complementary strengths in technology, product range and market access. It allows us to build a far more globally balanced CV business,” he said.
The company’s CV operations currently have a dominant presence in India, supported by robust infrastructure spending, higher freight movement and steady logistics demand.
Management said this domestic strength, combined with global expansion, will drive the next phase of growth.
Chandrasekaran said the commercial vehicle industry is entering a structurally stronger cycle, supported by long-term demand drivers.
“The sector is benefiting from sustained infrastructure investment, urbanisation and growth in logistics. These trends are likely to support long-term demand,” he noted.
At the same time, he acknowledged ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, including fuel price volatility, which could impact transport operators and fleet economics.
“There are near-term challenges, particularly around fuel costs and macro volatility, but we believe the business is well positioned to navigate these cycles,” he expressed.
The Iveco acquisition is also expected to accelerate Tata Motors’ push into next-generation mobility solutions and improve its competitiveness in global markets through shared engineering and procurement efficiencies.
Industry observers see the deal as a significant step toward positioning Tata Motors among the leading global commercial vehicle manufacturers.
Chandrasekaran said the company’s strategy is built on a dual-engine approach—strengthening leadership in India while scaling aggressively overseas.
“Our focus is on building a resilient, globally competitive CV business with leadership in India and meaningful scale internationally,” it said.
Post integration, Tata Motors expects operational synergies across product development, supply chains and technology platforms, which could enhance efficiency and product competitiveness across regions.
With steady global freight demand and continued infrastructure spending in key markets, Tata Motors is betting on sustained long-term growth even as it navigates near-term cost pressures linked to fuel and macroeconomic conditions.
