Natarajan Chandrasekaran to Step Down as Tata Sons Chairman in 2027
Natarajan Chandrasekaran announced he will not seek reappointment as chairman of Tata Sons when his current term ends in February 2027, ending nearly a decade at the helm. His decision follows a six-month deadlock over his third-term extension, reportedly due to a lack of unanimous board support amid tensions with Tata Trusts, which hold a majority stake. The resignation triggers a leadership transition, with Tata Trusts initiating a selection committee to identify his successor. The announcement impacted Tata Group stocks, reflecting investor uncertainty amid ongoing governance and strategic challenges.
