Indian carmaker Tata Motors is looking to raise up to $1 billion through the sale of a stake in its electric vehicle (EV) business and has opened discussions with a number of sovereign wealth funds and private equity investors over a potential deal, according to a report by the Economic Times.
The report cites unnamed sources as revealing that the funds and investors involved include UAE-based Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADAI) and Mubadala Investment Corp, as well as Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), KKR and General Atlantic.
