Will Cyrus Mistry continue as chairman of Tata firms? The Indian Hotels board meeting indicates it's not easy to dislodge him from the chairmanship. The chairman of Tata Sons was the de facto chairman of the major listed Tata group companies so far. "The Tata group needs to articulate if Cyrus Mistry will continue as chairperson of Tata Motors, Tata Steel, Indian Hotels, TCS and other Tata companies, and if not, the market will have to be explained how these transitions will happen. The boards of Tata companies will have to meet separately to initiate the process of removing Mistry. This will be a time-consuming process," IiAS said.
