The Story in Brief
Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran has stepped down from his position ahead of the group's Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for August 18, 2026, ndtvprofit.com reports. His current tenure was set to end in February 2027, but he will not seek re-appointment.

The real test is whether the board names a successor before the meet, or leaves shareholders guessing.
