TV Narendran, the current global CEO and MD of Tata Steel, is expected to be inducted into the Tata Sons board, as per news reports. This anticipated appointment comes after a series of high-profile departures, providing a strategic opportunity for the group to bring in seasoned leadership.
With over 30 years at Tata Steel, TV Narendran is one of the group’s most experienced executives, having joined in 1988 after completing his MBA from IIM Calcutta. His leadership has steered Tata Steel through key milestones, including the Bhushan Steel acquisition and the Kalinganagar expansion. He is now expected to be appointed to the Tata Sons board as part of strategic changes initiated by chairman N Chandrasekaran.
The board reshuffle follows the departure of Ralf Speth, former JLR CEO, who stepped down at the age of 70. Additionally, independent director Leo Puri exited in April, and Ajay Piramal, also 70, exited recently. This creates 3 open positions on Tata Sons’ board, setting the stage for a refreshed leadership line-up at the group's apex holding company.
Internally, Narendran is seen as a natural fit due to his extensive experience in industrial operations and strategic leadership. He also serves on the board of the World Steel Association and is a prominent voice in global sustainability efforts. His inclusion is expected to enhance board oversight and bring invaluable industry insight.

The board includes Noel Tata, vice chairman of Tata Steel and nominee of Tata Trusts, along with members like Vijay Singh (76) and Venu Srinivasan (72). Harish Manwani and Anita M George serve as independent directors. The addition of Narendran will reinforce the core industrial perspective within Tata’s central decision-making body.
TV Narendran's imminent appointment marks a pivotal transition within Tata Sons leadership. As the group navigates changes in its board composition, his proven record and organisational familiarity position him as a valuable contributor to Tata’s future strategic direction.
