[00:00:00]Now the big corporate story back home.

[00:00:01]Tatasan's board has reviewed the performance of five key group companies.

[00:00:05]These include Air India. This was at a crucial meeting at the Mumbai headquarters today. Now the review gains significance because this comes months after Tata Trust Chairman Noel Tata had called for measurable milestones, capital clarity and greater discipline across group businesses. Madiha wraps up the action from Bombay House. What transpired today? Madiha.

[00:00:26]So we are outside the Bombay House and the crucial Tata Suns board meet has concluded. It started at about 10:30 in the morning and we saw chairman and Chandra Securin leave the Bombay house at 4:30 p.m. So the meeting lasted for about 6 hours. So who was inside? Of course the six board members uh chairman Anchandra Sakuran Noel Tata uh Venus Shinasan CFO Sra Bagraal Harish Manwmani and Anita George these were the six board members who were present at the board meet and besides them there were CEOs of five Tata group companies so Air India Tata digital Tata Electronics uh the EV company Agretas and Tjas networks and what we understand is that these CEOs were briefing the board members about their business plans about their turnaround plans and the board members were asking these CEOs some tough questions like how much more capital will be required in these companies, when will these companies turn profitable and when will they start giving returns. So these were the issues that were discussed. Uh apart from this the issue of listing of Tata Suns was also discussed is what we are given to understand though the board was divided on this matter but this issue also came up during the discussions. Uh uh to speak about the company Tata Digital is investing a lot in the consumer business. Stata Electronics is spending billions of dollars uh in the semiconductor projects in Assam and Gujarat and Air India was a special case that was being discussed because the group has posted losses worth $2.5 billion. So the outgoing CEO Campbell Wilson was present in the board meet and he was uh briefing the board members about the challenges that the airline is facing uh due to the high operating cost due to the West Asia tensions and how to continue with the transformation plan and the fleet upgradation plan is what was discussed. What we understand is the board uh did not take any decisions.

[00:02:10]They were just listening to these CEOs trying to understand and try trying to hear them out and their business plans.

[00:02:15]No major decision was taken as such today but whatever was discussed could be reshaping the future strategies uh of the five Tata group companies is what we understand with video journalist Deepak Jang. This is Madiha Mojave for CNBC TV8.
