Noel Tata and N Chandrasekaran met ahead of May 26 Tata Sons board meeting, expected to discuss Chandra's third-term renewal and Tata Sons listing question, with implications for capital allocation across the group's retail and consumer arms.

Why this matters

Follows InGovern's renewed push for a time-bound Tata Sons listing and SP Group exit pressure. Pre-board alignment between Trusts and Sons chairs suggests a unified stance on Chandra's renewal and IPO strategy.
