File | Photo Credit: ANI West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday (June 12, 2026) said the government would bring the Tata Group back to the State. However, he added that the land at Singur on which Tata Motors had set up a car factory is no longer with the State government as it had been returned to the farmers. “The farmers at Singur cannot grow any crops because the concrete brought for the factory got mixed with the soil,” the Chief Minister said. The withdrawal of Tata Motors from Singur in 2008 is considered a setback for the industrial aspirations of the people of West Bengal. After a protracted legal battle, the land acquired by the Left Front government at Singur was returned to the farmers of West Bengal by Mamata Banerjee during the Trinamool regime. Speaking to presspersons at an event to mark 12 years of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, Mr. Adhikari said his government is serious on attracting investments to the State …

Cyrus Mistry`s bid to break up Tata Group? Tata’s silence speaks volumes

Cyrus Mistry`s bid to break up Tata Group? Tata’s silence speaks volumes

According to Thomas Mathew, the author of the biography Ratan Tata: A Life, Ratan Tata`s “no comments” response to questions about whether he shared the concerns of some Tata Group veterans—who believed Cyrus Mistry was trying to break up the conglomerate—was more revealing than any statement he could have made. As per PTI, Tata had fully supported Mistry as his successor in 2012, despite harbouring doubts about his suitability after the first year of their ‘parallel running’ arrangement. However, Mistry’s removal as Chairman of Tata Sons in 2016 was primarily due to “ethical and moral issues”, as well as performance concerns, according to Mathew’s account. In the biography, some senior Tata Group veterans are quoted expressing their concerns that Mistry’s leadership style might have threatened the unity of the conglomerate, especially considering the past record of Shapoorji Pallonji Group’s acquisition of shares in Tata Sons. The group gradually increased its stake in Tata Sons to around 18&#37, a move that many insiders viewed unfavourably, particularly given its clandestine nature. J.R.D. Tata, the legendary former head …
