现年63岁的塔塔集团董事长N·钱德拉塞卡兰宣布将在2月任期结束时不寻求连任[1]。这一决定源于董事会在其五年延期问题上的分歧，该延期提议于2月提出后至今仍未能获得一致同意[1]。
钱德拉塞卡兰2017年被任命为集团董事长，接替已故的塞勒斯·米斯特里[1]。塔塔集团旗下拥有印度航空、塔塔钢铁等多家企业[1]。其中塔塔之子公司由慈善机构塔塔信托基金会持股66%，该基金会在塔塔之子公司董事会拥有三名代表[1]。2022年，塔塔集团从印度政府收购了印度航空[1]。钱德拉塞卡兰的卸任决定引发了对这家集团未来前景的担忧，并导致其下属上市公司股价大幅下跌[1]。
N. Chandrasekaran, 63, has announced he will not seek reelection as chairman of the Tata Group when his term concludes in February [1]. The decision follows a deadlock within the board of Tata Sons, the holding company of the conglomerate, over a proposal to extend his tenure by five years [1]. The disagreement among board members has persisted for six months without resolution, creating uncertainty about the future leadership of one of India's largest industrial groups, which owns major enterprises including Air India and Tata Steel [1].
The impasse stems from divisions among Tata Sons' board representatives, with the Tata Trusts—a charitable organization holding 66 percent of Tata Sons—having three representatives on the board [1]. Chandrasekaran initially joined the Tata Group as chairman in 2017, succeeding Cyrus Mistry [1]. Under his leadership, the group expanded significantly, including the acquisition of Air India from the Indian government in 2022 [1]. The leadership transition has prompted concerns about the conglomerate's strategic direction, contributing to notable declines in share prices among its listed subsidiaries [1].
