Tata Trusts Face Historic Split Over Trustee Reappointment

In October 2025, there was a big disagreement in the Tata Trusts.

Mehli Mistry, a close friend of the late Ratan Tata, was not allowed to continue as a trustee for life.

This decision was made by Noel Tata, Venu Srinivasan, and Vijay Singh.

It was a historic moment because it was the first time there was a split vote in the Trusts’ history, which had always been unanimous before.

The news was reported by The Economic Times on October 30, 2025.
