MUMBAI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday stressed the importance of resolving the ongoing differences between Tata Sons and Tata Trusts through mutual discussions, saying the issue has significant implications for the Indian economy.
Referring to the tensions between Tata Sons and its largest shareholder, Tata Trusts, the Finance Minister said the matter should be settled amicably at the earliest and should not become a public controversy.
