Sir Dorabji Tata Trust Given Extension to Respond to Governance Complaints Amid Listing Dispute
The Maharashtra Charity Commissioner has extended the deadline to October 19 for the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) to respond to governance complaints filed by trustees Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh. The complaints allege governance lapses, improper trustee appointments, and undue involvement of the trust in Tata Sons' commercial affairs. The dispute coincides with internal disagreements over Tata Sons' potential public listing, with some trustees opposing the move and citing prior resolutions to keep the company unlisted. Tata Trusts has denied some allegations and sought more time to reply.
