Tata feud wipes ₹52,154 crore off listed companies’ market value | Stock Market News
A standoff between Tata Sons and Tata Trusts wiped ₹52,154 crore, about $5.44 billion, off the group's listed companies on Friday. The board voted 4-1 to back a five-year extension for chairman N. Chandrasekaran, which Tata Trusts called illegal. Investors now worry about leadership and capital allocation, so some Tata stocks may stay volatile until things settle.
