Mehli Mistry says he wants to exit all Tata Trusts

Mehli Mistry, the close confidant of late Ratan Tata who has levelled a slew of allegations against the fellow trustees including vice-chairmen Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh, has informed the charity commissioner that he doesn’t want to be a trustee with any of the 13 trusts, which own 66.6% of Tata Sons.

Mistry, director with the contracting and engineering services firm M Pallonji & Company, was a former trustee of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) and the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT). While his SDTT trusteeship was not renewed in September 2025, he chose not to seek a new term at the SRTT this April.
