Voltas and Trent Announce Noel Tata Stepping Down as Chairman Voltas Limited announced that Noel Tata bows out of Voltas, a week after quitting Trent . Tata Trusts chairman wraps up his last AGM at the cooling-products maker, handing the baton to a leadership bench built on promotions and lateral hires . Noel Tata is calling time on his chairmanship of Voltas, telling shareholders at the company’s 72nd annual general meeting that this was his final outing in the role — just a week after he announced an identical exit from Trent. He joined the Voltas board in January 2003 and took the chairman’s seat in September 2017, succeeding Ishaat Hussain. The timing is no accident. Tata turns 70 in November, and under the Companies Act, 2013, a managing or whole-time director cannot continue past that age without special approval. He has clocked 40 years with the Tata group, and the group’s succession clock now appears to be ticking in earnest, having struck the same note at Trent’s AGM on 23 June. Tata’s plate remains far from empty. He stays on as chairman of Tata Trusts, the largest shareholder in Tata Sons, and continues as non-executive chairman of Trent, Tata Investment Corporation, Tata International, Trent Hypermarket and Tata International West Asia DMCC, Dubai. He is also vice-chairman of Tata Steel and Titan Company Ltd. Two chairmanships down, several to go — for Noel Tata, this exit isn’t a farewell tour. It’s a reshuffle. Announcement • Jun 17
