History

Tata Technologies was founded in 1989, as the automotive design unit of Tata Motors.[12] It was hived off as a separate company in 1994, with Tata Motors continuing to hold a majority stake and be its biggest client.[13]

Tata Technologies Inc acquired INCAT International, a UK-and US-based automotive and aerospace engineering company, in August 2005 for £53.4 million.[14]

In 2011, Tata Technologies raised ₹141 crore (US$30 million) by selling 13% stake to Tata Capital and Alpha TC Holdings.[15]

In May 2017, Tata Technologies acquired 100% stake in Swedish automotive design and product engineering company, Escenda Engineering AB.[17]

In 2017, in an effort to reduce Tata Motors' debt, the Tata Group announced that it would sell a 43% stake in Tata Technologies to private equity firm Warburg Pincus for $360 million and cease to be the controlling shareholder in the company.[18] However, the deal was called off in 2018.[19]

In November 2023, Tata Technologies launched its book-built initial public offering (IPO) selling shares worth inr 30420000000, making it Tata Group's first public offering in nearly two decades.[20] Its shares began trading on NSE and BSE on 30 November 2023.[21]

In 2024, Tata Technologies and BMW, a German automotive manufacturer, formed a joint venture named BMW TechWorks India.[22] The joint venture will focus on developing software related technology for vehicles and IT services for BMW’s global business operations.[22]
