Tata Trusts Turmoil: Top Leadership Meets Govt As Board Divide Threatens ‘Too Big To Fail’ Group

Less than a year after Ratan Tata’s death, India’s most trusted conglomerate faces internal turbulence. In a high-stakes 45-minute meeting at Home Minister Amit Shah’s residence, the Centre reportedly urged Tata leaders — Noel Tata, N. Chandrasekaran, Venu Srinivasan, and Darius Khambata — to restore stability at the Tata Trusts and prevent the discord from spilling into Tata Sons. Key issues: governance disputes, control over board appointments, and debate over the public listing of Tata Sons. With the Tata Group’s market cap crossing ₹20 lakh crore, the government’s intervention underscores its national significance. As the group marks Ratan Tata’s first death anniversary, investors ask: Is Tata legacy unity fading?
