Mumbai, July 2: In a significant corporate shift, Noel Tata has announced his resignation from the position of Chairman at Voltas during the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on June 30. Tata, who will turn 70 in November this year, is stepping down in accordance with the Tata Group’s corporate governance policy, which mandates retirement for executive directors at the age of 65 and non-executive directors at 70.
Noel Tata has been at the helm of Voltas since 2017 and has also recently resigned from the chairmanship of Trent, the retail arm of the Tata Group.
