Tata Sons Boardroom Rift Escalates as Listing Looms Amid Leadership Dispute

India’s Tata Sons faces a severe governance crisis after its board reappointed N Chandrasekaran as chairman, a move Tata Trusts, the 66% majority shareholder, declared illegal.

With the Reserve Bank of India rejecting an exemption from mandatory listing rules, the group faces a potential 'mother of all IPOs' or a prolonged legal deadlock that could stall critical investments.
