Tata veterans huddle up to decide succession
On February 24, 2026, a tense board meeting of Tata Sons took place at Bombay House. The chairman of Tata Sons, Natarajan Chandrasekaran, was seeking a term extension. However, his half-brother, Noel Tata, was not in agreement. Noel, chairman of Tata Trusts, the family-run philanthropic arm of the Tata Group, had serious concerns about the company's losses and possible public listing.
He was determined to ensure that Chandrasekaran's extension was approved by him as well, not just the majority of the board members. This marked a significant moment where Noel, the 'other Tata', played a pivotal role in the company's governance.
