Noel Tata Delays Chandra's Reappointment As Tata Sons Faces Listing, Governance Clash

The re-appointment of Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran has reportedly been deferred again. The much-awaited Tata Sons board discussions last week have ended without a decision on N Chandrasekaran’s reappointment. Sources say Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata has flagged several unresolved issues, putting the leadership renewal process on hold. The spotlight is now firmly on split over listing of Tata Sons, governance concerns, loss-making businesses, and the growing differences over the group’s future direction.
