SRTT ban puts Tata chairman selection on hold

The delay comes a day after N Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons, said he would not seek a third term. SDTT responded by passing a resolution to begin forming the selection committee as quickly as the AoA allows. That move was widely read as an attempt to start the process even if SRTT's participation would have to wait for a legal resolution.

Chandrasekaran remains chairman through February 2027, which gives the trusts several months to resolve the impasse. The Tata Trusts may approach the court to seek an exception allowing SRTT to convene and pass a resolution on the procedural matter, given it involves no budget approval or financial dealing, the people said.
