Stocks to Watch Today: The Tata Sons Decision
The Tata Sons board approved a fresh five-year term for Executive Chairman N Chandrasekaran on Thursday, reversing his August 12 announcement that he would not seek reappointment, and separately cleared the long-pending proposal to list Tata Sons on the stock exchanges. Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata, representing the roughly 66 percent Trust shareholding, opposed both resolutions but was outvoted by the rest of the board. The listing push follows the RBI’s September 11 rejection of Tata Sons’ application to voluntarily surrender its NBFC registration.
