Tata Trusts proposes mergers to avoid Tata Sons listing
The Hindu BusinessLine··29 Sept
Tata Trusts, holding a 66 percent stake in Tata Sons, proposed merging Tata Electronics Systems Solutions and Tata Consulting Engineers into Tata Sons. The move aims to ease upper-layer non-banking financial company rules, BusinessLine reported. RBI still lists Tata Sons among upper-layer NBFCs and rejected a deregistration request. Tata Trusts sent the plan to chairman N Chandrasekaran on Monday evening.
