Tata Chemicals, Tata Investment Corp shares fall up to 3% as boardroom battle likely to reach court

The dispute between Tata Trusts and Tata Sons over N Chandrasekaran’s reappointment escalated, with the matter potentially heading to court. Tata Sons recently approved a fresh five-year extension for Chandrasekaran and began preparations for its IPO, triggering sharp moves in group stocks. However, shares fell on Friday after Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata challenged the validity of the appointment, objecting to the manner in which the decision was taken.
