At a time when speculations are rife over how Tatas would fund the buyout of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group’s 18.37 per cent shares in Tata Sons, the latter on Thursday said that it has not yet received any proposal from Mistry family-led SP Group on the matter.
The statement comes around three weeks after the SP Group announced it would end its 70-year-old relationship with Tata Sons.
Tata Sons on Thursday said that SP Group’s statement wherein it noted its desire to separate from the Tata Group, has resulted in “considerable confusion and speculation in the media”.
