Tata Sons Rejects Noel Tata’s Demand for Recording of Chandrasekaran Reappointment Meeting
Tata Sons has rejected Noel Tata's request to share the audio-video recording of the September 17th board meeting, deepening the leadership dispute within the group.
The ongoing struggle for leadership and authority within the Tata Group has arrived at a crucial stage. Tata Sons has flatly refused the request made by Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata to provide the audio/video recording of the board meeting held on September 17.
During this meeting, N. Chandrasekaran was re-designated as chairman of the holding company of the Tata group, even though Noel Tata had been the only board member opposing this decision.
According to a letter dated November 9 addressed to Tata Trusts from Tata Sons Company Secretary Suprakash Mukhopadhyay, audio or video recording of an offline meeting is not required at all. Only if one or more directors participate in the meeting virtually through a computer, then only video recording may be required.
