Tata Group Trouble: Everything is not going well in Tata Group, the country’s largest business group. Not even a year has passed since Ratan Tata’s demise and the infighting within the group has come to the fore.

If these conflicts are not controlled immediately, they may spread to Tata Sons. It is the holding company of Tata Sons Group. Tata Trust has 66 percent stake in Tata Sons. If the dispute escalates, the entire group may be affected.

What is the whole matter?
Four trustees of Tata Trust – Darius Khambatta, Jahangir H.C. Jahangir, Pramit Zaveri and Mehli Mistry have formed their own “Super Board”. Together, these people are challenging the leadership of Chairman Noel Tata. Sources claim that these trustees review the minutes of Tata Sons’ board meetings and approve the independent directors selected by the company’s nomination and remuneration committee. This is also raising questions on corporate governance. This rift has arisen in the trust after the death of Ratan Tata on October 9, 2024. All four trustees of Dorabji Tata Trust are on one side, while three trustees including Noel Tata are on the other side.

In view of the growing controversy, an hour-long meeting regarding the Tata Group was held at the residence of Home Minister Amit Shah on 7 October 2025. In this, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman met Tata Trust Chairman Noel.

It also said that the trust’s majority stake is a ‘public responsibility’ because of the Tata Group’s economic importance. The meeting also discussed RBI’s high-profile NBFC listing rules (including Tata Sons) and liquidity solutions for Shapoorji Pallonji Group.
