Ratan Tata, the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, is currently in critical condition and receiving treatment in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Mumbai, according to a Reuters report citing sources familiar with the situation.

Earlier this week, the 86-year-old industrialist had assured the public that he was undergoing routine age-related medical investigations, labeling rumors about his health as unfounded. However, concerns about his condition have intensified following reports of a decline in his health status.

In a statement shared on his social media platforms, Tata addressed the ongoing speculation about his well-being. He reassured his followers, stating, “There is no cause for concern. I remain in good spirits.” He emphasized that his medical evaluations are standard for someone of his age and urged both the public and media to refrain from spreading false information.

Ratan Tata is a prominent figure in Indian industry. He took the helm of Tata Sons in 1991 and served as chairman until 2012. Under his leadership, Tata Group transformed into a global entity, successfully acquiring major companies like Tetley, Corus, and Jaguar Land Rover. His tenure marked significant growth for the conglomerate, expanding its influence beyond Indian borders.
