Tata Trusts extended N Chandrasekaran’s chairmanship of Tata Sons beyond the 65-year rule for continuity in major strategic initiatives.

Tata Trusts have approved N Chandrasekaran’s third five-year term as chairman of Tata Sons, the first exception to the group’s 65-year retirement rule, to ensure leadership continuity during key initiatives in semiconductors, electric vehicles, and Air India’s transformation. The decision, made in September 2025, reflects confidence in his leadership as the Tata Group’s revenue nearly doubled and profit tripled in five years, reaching ₹15.34 lakh crore in FY25. The extension, set to take effect in February 2026, comes amid ongoing debates over Tata Sons’ potential public listing and a recent 30% drop in TCS stock.
