NEW DELHI: Indian automaker Tata Motors has raised 75 billion rupees ($994 million) from private equity firm TPG‘s Rise Climate Fund and Abu Dhabi’s ADQ to expand its passenger electric mobility business, the company said on Tuesday.
Tata will form a separate electric mobility unit in which TPG and ADQ will get between 11% and 15% share against compulsorily convertible shares, valuing the new entity at about $9.1 billion, the company said in a statement.
