has renewed its demand to list <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Tata Sons<\/span><\/span>\u2014a move that is rapidly evolving from a regulatory discussion into a defining governance battle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"1031\">In a carefully worded yet firm statement, SP Group Chairman <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry<\/span><\/span> positioned the listing not as a choice, but as an inevitable institutional evolution, arguing that transparency, accountability, and stakeholder value can no longer be separated from the structure of India\u2019s largest conglomerates.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1255\">This renewed push is significant not just because of what is being asked\u2014but because of when and how it is being asked: at a time
