TVS succession race hits a settlement roadblock
New Delhi: The succession dispute within industrialist Venu Srinivasan's family continues to face a major hurdle as no economic settlement has been reached, despite recent statements by Lakshmi Venu and Mallika Srinivasan. The family, which owns 74.45% of TVS Motor Company, has been unable to agree on a fair distribution of assets and roles.
The family partition in 2020, while valuing and dividing assets, did not establish that any individual could distribute assets unilaterally. The Venu Srinivasan family maintains control of key companies, but no comparable transparent process has been conducted for the economic interests within the family. The 2024 memorandum of understanding (MoU) only addresses the use of the TVS brand and a non-compete agreement, not the economic settlement itself.
Mallika Srinivasan clarified that TAFE, a separate family business group, has no bearing on the economic settlement within the Venu Srinivasan family. The family emphasizes the need for a fair and amicable resolution, recognizing all parties' legitimate economic interests through transparent valuation, discussion, and agreement.
