Four Tata trustees challenge listing stance of two vice-chairmen
Livemint··6d ago
Noel Tata and three Sir Dorabji Tata Trust trustees said vice-chairmen Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh backed a Tata Sons listing without raising it at trust meetings. Livemint cited a letter saying SDTT owns 27.98 percent of Tata Sons. It referenced trust resolutions of 28 May and 28 July 2025. On 17 September the Tata Sons board outvoted Noel Tata.
