Tata Trusts Seek Approval to Resolve Deadlock in Tata Sons Chair Selection
Tata Trusts are seeking approval from the Maharashtra Charity Commissioner to resolve a deadlock preventing the selection of a new Tata Sons chairman after N. Chandrasekaran announced he will not seek a third term ending February 2027. The Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) is barred from holding meetings due to a commissioner order, delaying the formation of a five-member selection committee with the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT). This impasse also postponed Tata Sons' annual general meeting, which received a three-month extension from the Registrar of Companies to address quorum issues linked to SRTT's restrictions.
