On June 5, trustees from key Tata Trusts, including the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) and Tata Education and Development Trust, held a meeting ahead of the critical Tata Sons board meeting scheduled for June 12. Notably, the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) did not convene, which affected discussions regarding trustee Venu Srinivasan's continuation as a nominee director on the Tata Sons board. This issue is significant due to the governance structure of Tata Sons, where decisions require majority approval from Tata Trusts' nominees. Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata reportedly favors replacing Srinivasan with Bhaskar Bhat, but legal complications surrounding SRTT have stalled this move. The upcoming board meeting will discuss pivotal topics such as N Chandrasekaran's potential third term as chairman, the listing of Tata Sons, and the strategic direction of businesses like Tata Digital and Air India. The Tata Trusts also recently rejected allegations regarding a share transfer to Naval Tata, calling the claims malicious. The board meeting is expected to review capital commitments for various ventures, including Air India, which remains a significant financial burden for the group.
