Tata Motors is contemplating to buy back Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) aggregating to Rs 450 crore ahead of their scheduled maturity.

The first tranche of unsecured NCDs totaling Rs 200 crore is due to mature on November 30, 2018, while the second tranche of Rs 250 crore is due to mature on May 28, 2019.
