Tata Motors to Take $4.5 Billion Loan for Iveco Acquisition

By Amit Jangra | Published Date : September 12, 2025

The 2025 Mahindra Bolero Pickup offers strong diesel engines, high payload capacity and fuel-efficient variants, making it ideal for Indian businesses and logistics needs.

Tata Motors is making a bold move again. The company, known for its popular Tata trucks and cars, is now getting ready to buy Iveco Group, a truck company from Italy. To make this happen, Tata Motors is planning to take a short-term loan of around $4.5 billion — which is about ₹37,000 crore in Indian money.

This kind of loan is called a bridge loan. It’s usually taken when a company needs money quickly to complete a big deal.

This huge amount isn’t coming from just one place. Morgan Stanley and MUFG, two well-known international banks, are helping arrange the loan. Later on, Tata Motors may repay this loan by raising money through shares or taking a long-term loan.

Interestingly, Tata Sons, the main holding company of the Tata Group, is backing this move. The interest on the loan will be a bit higher than the usual European lending rate, but that’s normal for such deals.

Why Is Tata Buying Iveco?

So, what’s the big idea here? Well, Iveco makes commercial trucks and it’s one of the big names in Europe. A while back, Iveco said it would sell off parts of its business — especially its commercial vehicle section.

This gives Tata a solid chance to enter the European commercial truck market in a big way. Some people are even comparing this to the time Tata Motors bought Jaguar Land Rover back in 2008. That deal really changed things for the company. This one could do the same.

When Will the Deal Be Done?

Right now, both companies are basically in a waiting phase — they still need approvals from regulators and government bodies. If everything falls into place, the deal might wrap up sometime around April 2026, maybe sooner, maybe later. Honestly, that’s not too far down the line.

What Does It Mean for Truck Buyers?

Well, it might not affect your Tata truck today, but in the long run, this deal could mean better technology, more global features and stronger vehicles coming to India too. Tata Motors could bring European truck designs or safety standards into their Indian models.

If you're planning to buy a truck, mini truck, tipper, trailer, or pickup, you can always check out sites like Truck Junction. They give all the details — price, mileage, features — plus loan options too.

Final Thoughts

This deal isn’t small. In fact, it could become one of the biggest in Asia this year. Tata Motors is clearly aiming to go big — not just in India, but globally. With the support of Tata Sons and top banks, they seem ready for the next big leap in the global truck market.
