Case Study: Tata Motors DVR vs Ordinary Shares
A real Indian case study in owning the same company through two different share classes. Tata Motors traded both ordinary shares and DVR (Differential Voting Rights) shares on the NSE and BSE for over a decade, at a persistent price gap, until a 2023 scheme of arrangement folded DVR shares into ordinary equity for good. This course walks through why DVR shares existed, what investors actually gave up and gained by holding them, why the discount never closed, and what the eventual merger teaches about pricing minority rights in a listed company.
