What happened

Tata Sons listing remains uncertain amid a power struggle between Noel Tata and trustees Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh. RBI rules mandate listing for assets

Key facts

  • Rs 1.75 lakh crore standalone assets
  • Rs 1 lakh crore RBI threshold
  • two-third stake
  • 51% holding
  • 1.2 crore shareholders
