  "account": "On Thursday, N. Chandrasekaran was reappointed as chairman of Tata Sons for another five years. The chairman, whose current term ends in February 2027, stated that he would not seek another term as chairman of the conglomerate, which oversees more than 30 group companies.\n\nTata Sons controls various businesses including aviation, automotive, information technology, steel, power and energy, retail and consumer goods, semiconductors, financial services, and telecom and digital.\n\nIn the aviation sector, Tata's operations include Air India and Air India Express, both struggling with losses. Air India has been undergoing a turnaround program since the Tata Group took over in 2022.\n\nTata Motors has shifted from being a domestic truckmaker to a global automotive group, including commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and electric vehicles. The company acquired Jaguar Land Rover for $2.3 billion in 2008, and completed a demerger in October 2025.\n\nTata Consultancy Services, founded in 1968, is the biggest contributor to Tata Sons' dividend income. However, its shares have declined significantly this year due to customers reducing discretionary technology spending.\n\nTata Steel is one of the world's oldest steelmakers with operations in India and Europe. The company reported a net profit of 159.69 billion Indian rupees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.\n\nTata Power, one of India's largest integrated power utilities, reported a profit after tax of 51.18 billion rupees for fiscal 2026. The company operates across power generation, transmission, distribution, renewable energy, solar manufacturing, and EV charging.\n\nTata Group has a strong presence in the consumer market through brands like Titan, Trent, Tata Consumer Products, and Voltas. The group also owns British tea brand Tetley and is Starbucks' joint-venture partner in India.",
