Tata Motors, which will be the promoter of TPEML, would hold 100 per cent share capital in the new electrical vehicle (EV) unit. The new subsidiary has been incorporated with the initial capital of Rs 700 crore, Tata Motors added in the exchange filing.
 

"TPEML has been incorporated with authorised capital of 70,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs 10/- each aggregating to Rs 700,00,00,000/-. The entire paid-up share capital will be held by TML," Tata Motors added.

The company had in October this year announced its plans to infuse over $2 billion in its EV business over the next five years after the Indian automaker made the announcement that it had raised funds from private equity firm TPG. 

TPG's Rise Climate Fund and Abu Dhabi state holding company ADQ had agreed to pump in around $1 billion to expand the company's EV business for which it would create a separate unit, according to the automaker.
