Overview

• Noel Tata faces opposition from four trustees—Mehli Mistry, Jehangir H. C. Jehangir, Darius Khambata and Pramit Jhaveri—over access to information and control of nominee directors, according to the Financial Express commentary.
• Tata executives flew to New Delhi for meetings reported with Union ministers Amit Shah and Nirmala Sitharaman late Wednesday, reflecting concern that the rift has widened beyond internal channels.
• The Trusts hold 66% of Tata Sons, positioning the internal split as consequential for board oversight and major decisions at the group’s apex company.
• Recent flashpoints cited include the reported removal of Vijay Singh from the Tata Sons board, disagreement over creating a deputy MD role and claims that a trustee’s proposed board appointment was stalled.
• The commentary warns that unresolved tensions could cloud timing for a potential Tata Sons listing and complicate matters linked to the Shapoorji Pallonji family’s shareholding.
