N Chandrasekaran steps down and S Padmanabhan assumes chairman role at Tata Chemicals
MUMBAI: The board of Tata Chemicals is undergoing a restructuring, with N Chandrasekaran stepping down as chairman. This position will be assumed by existing company director, S Padmanabhan.
In his letter to the board, Chandrasekaran, who is also the chairman of Tata Chemicals' parent, Tata Sons, cited his current and future commitments as the reason for his decision to step down.
Chandrasekaran, who owns Tata Chemicals shares worth nearly Rs 9 crore, joined the company's board in November 2020.
Rules allow an individual to be a director of up to 20 companies, encompassing public, private, listed, and unlisted entities.
With Tata Motors splitting into two separate entities, Chandrasekaran will have additional directorship responsibilities at the automotive giant. Additionally, he was recently appointed as the chairman of the Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation, which is a beneficiary of the late industrialist Ratan Tata's shares in Tata companies, valued at Rs 2,750 crore.
Within the 20 companies, an individual can serve on the boards of 10 public companies, and within those 10, he can be a director of up to seven listed companies. Tata Chemicals has also appointed Modan Saha, strategy head at Tata Sons, as an additional director of the company.

India's coal production rises 3.4 per cent to cross 86 million tonnes in May
The overall coal production in India during May this year reached 86.24 million tonnes (MT), marking an increase of 3.4 per cent over the 83.96 MT produced in the same month of the previous year, according to a Coal Ministry statement issued on Monday. The coal production from captive and commercial Mines for the month of May 2025 has shown a strong performance. A total of 16.432 million tonnes (MT) of coal was produced during the month, which represents a robust growth of 24.57 per cent compared to May 2024. Along with production, coal dispatch jumped by 13.8 per cent to 17.5 million tonnes (MT) in May this year compared surpassing the corresponding figure for May 2024. The growth in both production and dispatch ensures a steady coal supply to important industries such as power, steel, and cement, the official statement said. As on May 31, the coal stock held by coal companies witnessed a strong double-digit growth of 29.18 per cent, reaching 122.69 MT, as compared to 94.98 MT during the same period of the previous year. This increase stands as a testament to the significant rise in coal production across the country, the official statement said. Additionally, during the month of May, three important clearances were obtained, including Stage-I and Stage-II Forest Clearances and Mining Lease execution for different coal blocks, the statement said. Moreover, vesting orders for six coal blocks were signed on May 29. These blocks are located in Chhattisgarh (2), Maharashtra, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh (one each), all under the 11th tranche of auction. The government has implemented several initiatives, including Commercial Coal Mining and Mission Coking Coal, to enhance domestic coal production and reduce imports. These efforts have led to India's coal imports declining by 7.9 per cent to 243.62 million tonnes (MT) during financial year 2024-25 due to the increase in domestic production of the fossil fuel, resulting in a massive saving in foreign exchange to the tune of $7.93 billion (Rs 60,681.67 crore) in the import bill, according to official data. The country had imported 264.53 MT of coal in the previous financial year.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk: 'This tweet 9 years ago was how I started....'
Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared a throwback post highlighting the origins of the electric carmaker's Autopilot and AI team, offering a rare look into how some of the company's most critical talent came on board. 'Ramping up the Autopilot software team at Tesla to achieve generalized full autonomy. If interested, contact autopilot@ ,' the tech billionaire wrote in his 2015 post. Resharing the post, Musk wrote: 'This tweet 9 years ago was how I started the Autopilot, now AI, team at Tesla. Ashok, who now leads the team, was the first person I interviewed. Milan, who leads Optimus, also joined very early.' The post underscores the long-term contributions of Tesla's AI leaders, including Ashok Elluswamy , Director of Autopilot Software, and Milan Kovac, a senior figure behind Tesla's humanoid robot project, Optimus. Musk noted that 'many of the key people in Tesla AI have been there from the beginning,' praising the team's loyalty and foundational role in the company's AI advancements. The post underscores Tesla's AI strategy, which, per their website, emphasizes advanced AI for vision and planning—key to their goal of general solutions for full self-driving and bi-pedal robotics, a vision Musk has consistently pushed since 2015. Tesla's Autopilot system, now evolving into Full Self-Driving (FSD), has been central to the company's strategy of integrating AI into transportation. Under Elluswamy's leadership, the AI team has developed key neural networks and driving models that power Tesla's driver-assist features. Musk's mention of Milan and the Optimus project signals a broader expansion of Tesla's AI capabilities, now moving beyond vehicles to robotics. iQoo Z10 Review: 7300mAh battery packed in a slim design
