Cyrus Mistry takes over as Deputy Chairman of Tata Motors

Tata Sons chairman-designate Cyrus P. Mistry took over as deputy chairman of Tata Motors on Wednesday.

“Mistry will also be appointed to the board of Jaguar Land Rover,” the company said in a statement.

Mistry was inducted to the board of Tata Motors in May. He also holds the position of a director in other group companies such as Tata Industries, Tata Steel, Tata Power, Tata Teleservices and Tata Consultancy Services.

Mistry has held a director’s position in group holding company Tata Sons since 2006, and was appointed as its deputy chairman last November.

Mistry is slated to succeed Ratan Tata as the chairman of Tata Group in December.
