Tata Board Reappoints Chandrasekaran for 5 Years as Fight Over $180 Billion Empire Deepens

1 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Oct 21

Sept. 17 board votes gave Natarajan Chandrasekaran another five-year term atop Tata Group, reversing his August decision not to seek reappointment.
One dissenting vote came from Noel Tata, who leads the Tata Trusts that own 66% of Tata Sons, exposing a split between the family-linked owners and the chairman running the businesses.
That struggle now reaches beyond succession: India’s government is pressing Tata Sons to list, a step that could recast ownership of the 158-year-old conglomerate.
With more than 1 million employees and $180 billion in annual revenue, the dispute has become a broader test of whether owners, professional managers or the state hold sway in Indian capitalism.
