Tata Group Rocked by Boardroom War, Debt Woes, and Listing Mandate

India's venerable Tata Group is facing its deepest corporate crisis in years, ignited by a fierce boardroom battle over the reappointment of Executive Chairman N. Chandrasekaran and a government-mandated public listing for its holding company, Tata Sons. On September 17, 2026, the Tata Sons board voted to extend Chandrasekaran's term, a decision swiftly declared a 'legal nullity' by Tata Trusts, the philanthropic entity that controls 66% of the conglomerate and is chaired by Noel Tata. This public clash lays bare a deep power struggle, further complicated by the Reserve Bank of India's recent rejection of Tata Sons' bid to avoid a compulsory stock market listing.

India's Top Court Halts Controversial Acquittal in Attempted Rape Case, Cites 'Offending Observations'

In a major move to uphold justice for sexual assault survivors, the Supreme Court of India has stepped in to review a controversial decision by the Patna High Court that acquitted a man previously convicted of attempted rape. The top court took suo motu cognisance, meaning it acted on its own, noting 'some offending observations' in the High Court's judgment which downgraded acts of physical molestation to merely outraging modesty, rather than attempted rape. This intervention highlights the Supreme Court's strong concern over how lower courts interpret serious sexual offenses.
