Tata Sons chairman Chandrasekaran may step down before shareholder meeting: Report
His term as chairman runs until February 2027, but he must be reappointed as a director to remain in the role.
Tata Sons chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran has reportedly considered stepping down before the scheduled shareholder meeting on August 18, according to a report by the Economic Times. The possibility of his departure has emerged amid uncertainty surrounding Tata Trusts, the company's controlling shareholder, and their voting intentions.
Chandrasekaran's chairmanship is set to end in February 2027, yet he must be reappointed as a director to retain the position. The report suggests that the outcome remains uncertain due to opposition from Noel Tata, as well as questions over the participation of the suspended Sir Ratan Tata Trust, a key component of Tata Trusts.
In February, a board meeting aimed at approving Chandrasekaran's third term was postponed when Noel Tata requested assurances regarding debt management, avoiding a public listing of Tata Sons, and resolving conflicts with the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. Both Chandrasekaran and his associates have not provided comment to the media regarding these allegations.
