Tata Motors reportedly nears $4.5 billion Iveco deal, set to be its largest-ever automotive acquisition
The deal faces potential hurdles, including scrutiny under Italy's "golden power" rules due to Iveco's involvement in defense manufacturing. The company has already been in advanced talks to divest its defense business, a move that could clear the path for the acquisition.
The boards of both companies are reportedly meeting today to greenlight the deal, with an official announcement possibly coming later in the day. The acquisition would see Tata Motors acquire the Turin-based firm, which specializes in trucks, buses, and engines and has a current market capitalization of roughly $4.9 billion.
