Tata to discuss IPO rule, Chandra's reappointment

The Tata Sons board is set to discuss two important matters during its Thursday meeting: the Reserve Bank of India's IPO listing directive and N Chandrasekaran's plan to step down as chairman. The committee has decided to reappoint Chandrasekaran for another five years when his current term ends next February. The voting rights of Tata Trusts nominees and the board chairman will be closely examined, as the board is expected to accept the RBI directive, though there is a possibility of challenging it if Chairman Noel Tata presses for it.

The reappointment term for Chandrasekaran remains unclear, but it will likely be debated heavily. The board is not anticipated to accept any attempt to contest the RBI directive, which would require Tata Sons to prepare for a potential IPO listing. The issue could potentially lead to conflict between Noel Tata and the board if he pushes for a legal challenge.
