Big battle breaks out: Tata Trusts call reappointment of Chandrasekaran as chairman 'illegal'
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported31m ago
India's Tata Sons board has voted to reappoint N. Chandrasekaran as executive chairman for a second five-year term in Mumbai. The reappointment follows Chandrasekaran's reversal of his previous statement last month that he would not seek another term after months of friction with Tata Trusts.
The decision has triggered an internal governance battle as Tata Trusts formally declared the reappointment illegal. The Trusts argue that the board resolution is a legal nullity due to opposition from Noel Tata. This dispute follows the Reserve Bank of India's rejection of Tata Sons' bid to surrender its core investment company status.
