Tata Sons Board Reappoints N Chandrasekaran Amid Tata Trusts' Opposition
The Tata Sons board approved a five-year extension for N Chandrasekaran as executive chairman, reversing his August decision not to seek reappointment after his current term ends in February 2027. The board cited leadership continuity amid regulatory pressures, including RBI's refusal to allow Tata Sons to surrender its NBFC registration, which may require a stock market listing. Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata opposed the reappointment, calling the resolution illegal based on Tata Sons' Articles of Association, leading to a governance dispute within the group.
