Cloud over Tata Sons AGM as Trust nominee delay puts quorum and Chandra vote at risk

The Tata Sons’ annual general meeting (AGM) on August 18 is set for a close finish, with the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) — one of the holding company’s largest shareholders — yet to nominate a representative after a regulatory restriction imposed by Maharashtra’s charity commissioner delayed the appointment.

The meeting will consider, among other matters, the directorship of Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran, who has decided not to seek another term when his current tenure ends in February.
