Mumbai: Tata Group stocks surged on Thursday following the board's decision to extend N Chandrasekaran's five-year term as executive chairman and to begin steps towards complying with RBI guidelines for a possible listing of Tata Sons. Tata Chemicals saw a 6% increase, Tata Investment Corp rose 5.5%, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles climbed 4.5%, and Tata Steel gained 3%.
Additionally, Indian Hotels and Tata Power experienced around 2% growth. The resolution, however, has sparked a new dispute between Tata Sons and Tata Trusts, with the latter stating that reappointing Chandrasekaran is legally invalid. Tata Trusts, the majority owner of Tata Sons, includes a significant stake held by Shapoorji Pallonji Group.
Despite this, the board's decision focuses on leadership stability and compliance preparation, which may bolster investor confidence.
