What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Tata Trusts, which holds a 66% stake in Tata Sons, has challenged the validity of the September 17 decision to reappoint N. Chandrasekaran as the chairman of the company’s Board. Tata Trusts argued that the Articles of Association required affirmative support from all Trust-nominated directors for such appointments. The group faced pressure to consider a stock listing, which was complicated by the Reserve Bank of India's rejection of Tata Sons' application to surrender its non-banking financial company registration.
