With international automakers deciding to go ahead with their investments despite uncertain global geopolitical and economic environment, Tata Technologies Ltd is looking forward to a "very strong year" in the next fiscal from an aggregate growth perspective, according to its CEO and MD Warren Harris. The company - a global product engineering and digital services firm, which had last year acquired Germany-based ES-Tech group, also expects the acquired entity to add to its overall growth trajectory, Harris told PTI in an interview. "The automotive business specifically is a product-driven business, and because of the uncertainty in the last 18 months to two years, a lot of our customers, not just in North America, but also in Europe, have been sitting on their hands because they have not been sure about which propulsion system they should invest in, where they should be building product and how they should be managing their supply chains," he said. At least now, Harris said,"Whether
Tata Group-owned Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) on Monday said it has secured trademark registration for the 'Taj' sonic sound, the first sound mark registration for a brand in the country's hospitality sector. The registration legally protects the marquee brand Taj's distinctive sonic identity as a trademark, recognising sound as a core brand asset, India's largest hospitality firm, IHCL, stated. In an increasingly experience-driven marketplace, sonic branding plays a powerful role in shaping emotional memory and deepening consumer recall beyond visual cues. As hospitality brands expand into immersive, multi-sensory experiences, sound has emerged as a critical touchpoint for building trust, familiarity, and emotional resonance. Rajendra Misra, Executive Vice President & General Counsel, IHCL, said, "Being recognised as the world's strongest hotel brand carries with it the responsibility to lead all facets, including how brand equity is protected.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) will set up a greenfield 10 GW ingot and wafer manufacturing facility at Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, with an investment of Rs 6,675 crore. The project will be the largest ingot and wafer manufacturing facility in the country, reinforcing Andhra Pradesh's position as a leading hub for advanced solar manufacturing, state government officials said. The project has been cleared by the State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) chaired by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. The facility will be developed at the IFFCO Kisan Special Economic Zone, where the Government of Andhra Pradesh has earmarked 200 acres for the project, including 120 acres for the initial phase and 80 acres for future expansion.

The Tata Group has begun scouting for a suitable candidate to head Air India, as the tenure of the incumbent, Campbell Wilson, will end next year, sources have said. Meanwhile, the Group is also looking to appoint a new Managing Director for its low-cost subsidiary Air India Express. Aloke Singh, will also be completing his tenure in the current position in 2027. "Both sides (Wilson and Tata Group) don't want a renewal (of the contract after 2027). So, it is but natural to go to the market to look for suitable candidates for the top job at Air India," said a source privy to the information. There were no comments from the Tata Group on this issue in response to a PTI query. Sources, however, said that it would take at least 3-6 months to finalise a suitable candidate for Air India, adding that if an overlap occurs, it would be good because the takeover would then become easier. The final report on the Air India Boeing 787-8 crash at Ahmedabad is expected around June. Significantl
