In December 2020, the board of directors of the $ 8.5 billion TVS group holding companies approved the so-called Family Arrangement Memorandum (MFA) between various members of the TVS family. The current shareholders of the holding companies are mainly third and fourth generation family members of the founder of the TVS group, TV Sundaram Iyengar.

In February 2021, the group filed a composite merger and arrangement plan involving its holding companies with the National Company Law Tribunal in Chennai.

The restructuring will give each family group full ownership of the businesses they manage while eliminating the holding company. Under the new conditions, the family agreed to remove all cross-ownership. Share buybacks between family members have already started.

The restructuring will involve nine listed companies, including TVS Motor, Sundaram Clayton, Sundram Fasteners, TVS Electronics and TVS Srichakra, among others. Family members will buy back shares in their companies’ TVS holding companies. This arrangement will not include Sundaram Finance as it is already separate from the holding companies.
