Tata Trusts to Seek 3-Year Strategy from N Chandrasekaran to Cut Losses Ahead of Board Meet

Tata Sons is to hold a board meeting later this month, with discussions likely to centre on loss-making businesses, future investments and long-term strategy, as per The Moneycontrol report. 

News reports citing people familiar with the matter said the Tata Trusts may ask chairman N Chandrasekaran to present a revised 3-year business plan for the group.  

A separate board meeting is scheduled for June 12 to review annual accounts. The earlier business roadmap presented last year is now being revisited due to changing market conditions and rising capital commitments across several businesses. 

Air India Losses Under Focus 

Air India is to remain one of the main areas of discussion. The airline reportedly recorded a loss of around ₹10,859 crore in FY25. Estimates indicate losses could increase to nearly ₹28,000 crore in FY26 because of aircraft upgrades, merger-related expenses and operational restructuring. 

The Tata group has continued to invest in fleet modernisation and integration after regaining ownership of the airline. Higher operating costs and expansion plans have added pressure on finances during the transition period. 

Concerns Around New Ventures 

Apart from aviation, losses at newer group businesses are also under review. Tata Digital, Tata Electronics, Tata Teleservices and Tata Projects together reportedly recorded losses of over ₹25,000 crore in FY25. 

Tata Digital has continued to spend heavily on digital commerce platforms including Tata Neu and BigBasket. According to reports, the Trusts are seeking timelines on profitability and details on how future capital allocation will be managed. 

Listing and Governance Issues 

The future of Tata Sons as an unlisted company may also come up during discussions. The issue has remained under focus since the Reserve Bank of India earlier classified Tata Sons as an upper-layer NBFC before the company surrendered its core investment company registration. 

The developments come amid ongoing governance-related discussions and regulatory scrutiny involving trustee appointments within the Tata Trusts.
