Noel Tata and N Chandrasekaran to Discuss Key Issues Before Tata Sons Board Meeting

Noel Tata, Tata Trusts chairman and Tata Sons board member, is set to meet Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran ahead of the May 26 board meeting. The discussions aim to address concerns Noel raised in February about high-risk investments, losses in new businesses, and maintaining Tata Sons as an unlisted entity. Tata Trusts holds a 66% stake, while the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, holding 18.4%, favors listing to facilitate its exit. The talks follow a period of limited communication between the two leaders.
