Senior lawyer Darius Khambata has vehemently denied any 'coup' or 'takeover' attempt within the Tata Trusts following Ratan Tata's passing. Khambata clarified in a letter that the September 2025 meeting discussed representation on the Tata Sons board and opposed its listing, aiming for a stronger voice for the Trusts. He reaffirmed support for Noel Tata as Chairman and expressed regret over media misinterpretations.
