The company had said that its PV business has been valued at ₹9,417 crore.

In a regulatory filing, Tata Motors said a total of 2,15,41,38,392 votes were polled of which 2,15,32,39,294 were in favour of the resolution, translating into 99.958 per cent of the total votes, while 8,99,098 votes (0.042 per cent) were against.

In terms of public institutional shareholders, a total of 68,86,10,054 votes were polled with all of them in favour and none against the resolution.

In the public non-institutional shareholders category, a total of 15,20,76,906 votes were polled with 15,11,77,808 votes (99.409 per cent) in favour and 8,99,098 votes (0.591 per cent) against the move, the filing added.

The company management had stated that it expects the process of hiving off its domestic PV business to be completed around May-June this year, although it has not yet taken a call on a potential partner for the business.

Last year, Tata Motors had announced that it would turn its domestic PV business unit into a separate entity and seek a strategic partnership in order to help the unit secure its long-term viability.

Tata Motors has maintained that as part of an overall business reorganisation plan and in order to provide for the optimum running, growth and development of the PV undertaking and its interests, it was necessary to realign the PV business.

This will help provide differentiated focus for the PV and commercial vehicle businesses separately and help each of them realise their potential, while also unlocking business value, providing enhanced management focus and operational flexibility in each of the businesses, the company had said.
