Tata Trusts Backs Third Executive Term for N. Chandrasekaran, Defying Retirement Rule: Reports

The move is presented as continuity for multi‑year bets in semiconductors, EV batteries and Air India.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that Tata Trusts passed a unanimous September 11 resolution recommending a third executive term for the Tata Sons chairman.
  • The proposal, moved by trustees Noel Tata and Venu Srinivasan, has been sent to Tata Sons for formalisation with a decision expected next February, according to reports.
  • The step would waive the group’s rule requiring executives to retire at 65, which otherwise allows only non‑executive roles until 70.
  • Reports frame the recommendation as a stabilising measure as trustees weigh ownership questions and a possible Tata Sons listing, with no official comment from Tata Trusts yet.
  • Under Chandrasekaran, the group’s FY25 revenue reached ₹15.34 lakh crore and profit ₹1.13 lakh crore, with coverage noting near‑doubling of revenue and more than tripling of net profit over five years.
