Tata Sons, India's largest conglomerate, is experiencing a power struggle between its owners. The change came when the company dropped a reference to Article 118 in its filing for the reappointment of its chairman, N.

However, the situation is complicated by the fact that the company's bylaws allow for a chairman to be removed without a vote from the board, potentially giving Noel Tata more leverage in the dispute. The New York Times and Fortune India have extensively covered the power struggle, highlighting the potential implications for India's business landscape.

The outcome of the power struggle remains uncertain, and it is unclear how the situation will unfold.
