A family business connection between TVS Motor and Tata Sons has come under scrutiny amid a dispute over Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran's leadership. According to a report by the Free Press Journal, Chandrasekaran's wife, Lalitha, and her son Pranav are directors of Hanno One Warehousing Pvt Ltd, a company incorporated in March 2025.
Hanno Infra LLP holds nearly the entire stake in Hanno One, with Lalitha representing the LLP and Pranav holding one direct share. Three months after Hanno One was established, TVS Motor leased 17 acres of farmland in Tamil Nadu for a warehouse development project. However, the specifics of the lease agreement remain undisclosed.
Tata Sons has confirmed the incorporation of Hanno One to relevant entities, but maintains that TVS Motor operates independently and has no business dealings with Tata group companies. The issue has gained prominence due to TVS Motor chairman-emeritus Venu Srinivasan's support for Chandrasekaran's continued role as chairman of the Tata group holding company.
Srinivasan, who is also vice-chairman of Tata Trusts and a member of the Tata Sons nomination and remuneration committee, faced opposition from Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata, who opposed Chandrasekaran's reappointment for another five-year term.
