Tata Industries removes Cyrus Mistry as director; no more chairman
12:26 PM IST
Cyrus Mistry was on Monday removed as director of Tata Industries following shareholders' vote, the first such instance of the embattled executive being ousted from the board since his removal as Tata Group chairman.
Mistry also ceases to be the chairman of the company following his removal as director, Tata Industries said.
"Tata Industries, at its extraordinary general meeting on December 12, 2016, removed Cyrus P Mistry, as a director of the company. Hence, he also has ceased to be the chairman of the company," it said.
Mistry was abruptly ousted as chairman of Tata Sons -- the holding company of the $103 billion salt-to-software conglomerate -- on October 24. Since then, interim Chairman Ratan Tata has moved to consolidate his position by seeking to remove Mistry from boards of key listed firms.
