TVS Motor chairman emeritus Venu Srinivasan backed N Chandrasekaran's fresh five-year term as Tata Sons chairman despite opposition from Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata.
Srinivasan, the longest-serving member of the Tata Sons board and a Tata Trusts representative, became central to the board dispute over governance and leadership.
Scrutiny has emerged around business links after TVS Motor leased 17 acres in Krishnagiri to a warehousing firm directed by Chandrasekaran's wife and son.
