What Happened
Tata Motors confirmed that its €14.40 per-share cash tender offer represents the non-negotiable limit for its acquisition of commercial vehicle manufacturer Iveco Group. The Indian automaker had increased its bid by €0.30 a share on October 9 over the baseline €14.10 valuation to offset a four-month regulatory review delay across European jurisdictions.

- €14.10 per share
- €0.30 per share
Following an Extraordinary General Meeting where Iveco investors approved reducing the acceptance hurdle to 80 percent, the public tender window closes on October 26, 2026. Transaction settlement is scheduled for October 30, 2026, after which Tata Motors plans to deploy statutory squeeze-out mechanisms under Dutch law to reach 100 percent ownership.
Why this matters
The decision establishes €3.91 billion as the definitive valuation ceiling, rejecting minority activist shareholder requests for terms up to €18 per share. Concluding the acquisition gives Tata Motors complete control of Iveco's commercial vehicle operations across Europe through Dutch corporate squeeze-out procedures.
