Tube Investments Completes Full Ownership of TIVOLT Electric for ₹30 Cr
Why This Matters
Gaining 100% ownership allows TICMPL to exercise complete strategic and operational control over TIVOLT. This streamlined structure can facilitate quicker decision-making, better integration of resources, and more efficient capital allocation for TIVOLT's growth in the burgeoning e-SCV market.
Acquisition Complete
The final acquisition of the remaining 5.45% stake in TIVOLT Electric Vehicles Private Limited was finalized on March 31, 2026. Tube Investments of India Limited (TII), via its subsidiary TI Clean Mobility Private Limited (TICMPL), paid ₹30 crore in cash to secure full ownership. This move solidifies TICMPL's control over TIVOLT's operations in the electric small commercial vehicle (e-SCV) sector.
Background on TI Clean Mobility
TI Clean Mobility Private Limited (TICMPL), established in February 2022, is TII's dedicated arm for electric mobility solutions. The company has been aggressively investing in the EV sector, with total investments nearing ₹3,000 crore. TICMPL's strategy spans multiple EV platforms, including electric tractors (via Cellestial E-Mobility) and electric heavy commercial vehicles (via IPL Tech Electric), alongside its focus on three-wheelers and small commercial vehicles. TIVOLT Electric Vehicles Pvt Ltd was specifically incorporated by TICMPL to focus on the e-SCV segment. While TICMPL and its subsidiaries, including TIVOLT, have reported financial losses, the company is focused on scaling operations and moving towards break-even, supported by ongoing investments and new product launches.
What Changes Now
