**Mumbai, India:** Following the passing of former chairman Ratan Tata, Noel Tata, his half-brother, has been appointed as the new chairman of Tata Trusts. The announcement is expected to be made official soon.
Noel Tata, 67, has a long history with the Tata Group, having served on the boards of several Tata companies for over four decades. He currently chairs Trent, Tata International Ltd., and Voltas Ltd., and has previously held executive positions at Tata International Ltd. and Trent Ltd.
The Tata Trusts, which hold a 66% stake in Tata Sons, are a crucial part of the conglomerate’s leadership. They play a significant role in shaping the direction of India’s largest business group.
The appointment of Noel Tata follows a board meeting where succession plans were discussed in accordance with the trust deeds. His appointment ensures a smooth leadership transition for the Tata Trusts.
Noel Tata’s children, Leah, Maya, and Neville, were appointed trustees of several trusts under the Sir Ratan Tata and Sir Dorabji Tata Trusts earlier this year, highlighting the continuation of the Tata family’s legacy in the group’s leadership.
