Goa, Oct. 23 -- Six prominent Parsi and Zoroastrian global organisations have jointly submitted an appeal directly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The letter, dated October 7, 2026, urges the Union Government to step in and safeguard the fundamental identity, philanthropic ethos, and long-term governance structure of the Tata Group amid an ongoing regulatory and legal battle surrounding the public listing of its principal holding company, Tata Sons.

The central plea of the community bodies is straightforward: "Don't let Tata lose its soul." They argue that forcing a public stock market listing on Tata Sons risks prioritizing short-term market performance and quarterly earnings over century-old, altruistic long-term stewardship.
