Tata Sons chairman succession race heats up

N Chandrasekaran's sudden decision to step down as Tata Sons chairman by February 2027 has triggered a succession race, with Tata Steel MD TV Narendran emerging as a frontrunner. The selection process faces complications due to a charity commissioner's directive preventing the Sir Ratan Tata Trust from convening meetings, and Noel Tata is ineligible for the interim role due to amended articles.
