Pallonji Mistry, the Indian-born billionaire and Irish citizen whose engineering empire built luxury hotels, stadiums, palaces and factories across Asia and whose family’s epic showdown with the Tata Group sparked India’s biggest corporate feud, has passed away in Mumbai. He was 93.

A company spokesperson confirmed the death of the Indian tycoon after social media posts on the news spread.
