SaralnamaThe ongoing dispute among Tata Trusts trustees appears to be ending. The conflict arose over transparency and information sharing. After Venu Srinivasan's reappointment to the board, his email communication with trustees indicates agreement on these issues. Mehli Mistry, nominated for lifetime trustee, expressed a desire for unity. The proposal to make Mistry a lifetime trustee follows Srinivasan's appointment. Mistry was among four trustees who accused the Tata Sons board of rule violations. Conflicts of interest fueled the dispute, particularly regarding Noel Tata's multiple roles. Trustees raised concerns about the ₹1,000 crore funding plan for Tata International Limited and Tata Motors' ₹38,700 crore Iveco acquisition. The government intervened, urging a quick resolution to avoid impacting the ₹38 lakh crore corporate group. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 12:25 IST; source: link)
