After differences among members of the K.K. Modi Family Trust on the sale of assets came out in the open earlier this week, there seems to be some truce among the family members as Lalit Modi, in his latest statement has said that the family is in talks for a solution in the matter to safeguard the interest of the shareholders. The statement gains significance as it comes as a toned-down version from the UK-based businessman, who publicly opposed the Godfrey Phillips India's official stand that there are no talks of stake sale and called the denial a lie. He, rather said on January 27, 2020 that all the assets of the K.K. Modi Family Trust are up for sale. Modi further said that Godfrey Phillips India Limited is "not fully conversant" with the efforts of the Modi family to find an amicable solution to some issues that are in the process of discussion. Modi also emphasised the need for new investments into the group for its growth. "I believe that the best possible solution is, if we as a family group, and majority shareholders allow new strategic investments into the group. This is the only way to tap the growth potential of this market comprehensively," he said. The proposed sale of cigarette-to-retail major Godfrey Phillips India laid bare the differences in the Modi family over both the sale of assets and the management control.
