Following the demise of great industrialist Ratan Tata, significant changes are set to occur in the management of his trusts, Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation (RTEF) and Ratan Tata Endowment Trust (RTET). These trusts, which hold Ratan Tata’s stake in Tata companies, will be restructured, with his step-siblings Shireen Jejeebhoy, Dian Jejeebhoy, and Noel Tata appointed as new trustees.

According to a report by The Times of India, the number of trustees in RTEF and RTET will increase from two to six and seven, respectively.

Ratan Tata owned a 0.83% stake in Tata Sons, the group’s holding company, as well as stakes in companies like Tata Digital, Tata Motors, and Tata Technologies. These holdings will now be transferred to RTEF.

In addition, Ratan Tata had investments in several startups. Some of these will be sold to fund RTET, while others will be directly transferred to the trust. His total wealth is estimated to exceed Rs 10,000 crore.

The execution of Ratan Tata’s will is being handled by Shireen Jejeebhoy, Dian Jejeebhoy, Darius Khambata, and Mehlli Mistry, a trustee of Tata Trusts. Apart from Mistry, all others will play a role in the boards of RTEF and RTET.

Focus Areas Of RTEF and RTET

Both RTEF and RTET will continue to focus on education, healthcare, and the upliftment of underprivileged sections of society, causes that Ratan Tata championed throughout his life.

The Chairman of Tata Sons, N. Chandrasekaran, will take on the role of Managing Trustee for both RTEF and RTET, providing strategic guidance. However, per Tata Sons’ rules, he will not be eligible to serve as the chairman of these trusts.
