Iveco said in May it would press ahead with plans to either spin off its defence business by the end of 2025 or sell it, having already received offers from potential buyers.
A third source said that, as the separation process of the defence unit was progressing, Exor had started talks with more than one non-European counterpart over a possible sale.
Live Events
The talks over the sale of Iveco and Tata Motors' approach have not been reported before.
Exor owns a 27.1% stake in Iveco, with 43.1% of voting rights in the Turin-based truck maker. Iveco, which also makes buses and engines, has a market cap of around 4.2 billion euros ($4.9 billion).
It is the smallest among Europe's leading truck makers - a market led by Volvo, Daimler and Traton - and has often been seen as a potential M&A candidate by investors and analysts. However, its presence in the sensitive business of defence has so far complicated any possible deal and restricted the pool of potential buyers.
The Italian government in 2021 blocked an offer for Iveco from Chinese rival FAW. Iveco was at that time part of the Agnelli-controlled industrial conglomerate CNH. It was spun off and separately listed at the beginning of 2022.
Iveco has received three offers for its defence business, according to two sources: a joint one from Italian defence company Leonardo and Germany's Rheinmetall, and two others from Franco-German tank maker KNDS and arms company Czechoslovak Group (CSG).
These offers value IDV at up to 1.9 billion euros, according to Bloomberg.
Iveco employs around 36,000 people, including 14,000 in Italy.
Any M&A transaction involving Iveco is expected to fall under Rome's 'golden power' legislation, allowing it to set conditions on deals affecting companies deemed of national strategic interest.

Cipla buys 20% stake in iCaltech to broaden respiratory device portfolio
Cipla on Monday announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire a 20 per cent stake in Bengaluru-based iCaltech Innovations, through an investment of approximately ₹5 crore in optionally convertible preference shares and one equity share. The transaction is expected to be completed within a month, subject to customary closing conditions. The investment aligns with Cipla's strategy to strengthen its presence in the respiratory care space, particularly in the diagnostics segment. iCaltech, an ISO 13485 certified medical device company, is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, and commercialisation of diagnostic products, with a core focus on respiratory applications. Achin Gupta, Global COO, Cipla, said, 'Our decision to invest in iCaltech reflects Cipla's commitment to advancing respiratory diagnostics. As lung leaders with the aim to reduce the existing gap in the current ecosystem, our strategic funding will enable iCaltech to further expand and develop innovative devices.' Cipla said the deal would enable it to partner with iCaltech in developing integrated healthcare solutions by leveraging synergies between pharmaceuticals and medical device technologies. Under the terms, iCaltech will continue to operate independently, while Cipla will hold 20 per cent voting rights post-investment. iCaltech recorded a revenue of ₹6.7 crore in FY25, up from ₹4.19 crore in FY24 and ₹1.28 crore in FY23. The acquisition is part of Cipla's broader focus on expanding its devices, diagnostics, and digital offerings, especially in its core respiratory portfolio.
