Tata International Limited has announced a major leadership change, appointing T V Narendran as its new chairman, while Noel Tata will move into the role of chairman emeritus. Both appointments will take effect from November 12, 2026.
The development is part of a broader leadership transition across the Tata Group, with Noel Tata preparing to step down from his directorships at six major group companies upon turning 70.
The changes follow the conglomerate’s retirement guidelines for non-executive directors.
Narendran will now lead Tata International’s next phase of growth, with a focus on strengthening its existing operations, expanding business capabilities and pursuing sustainable development.
Reacting to his appointment, Narendran expressed gratitude for the opportunity and said he looked forward to building a lasting legacy while generating value for the company’s stakeholders.
Meanwhile, Noel Tata acknowledged the efforts of employees and colleagues, recognising their contribution to the company’s growth over the years.
The leadership change marks an important shift at Tata International, which has a significant global presence and operates across several industry segments.
