Cyrus Mistry removed as Tata Sons chief, Ratan Tata is interim chairman

Tata Sons, the holding company of India’s largest business group, said on 24th October it had decided to replace Cyrus Mistry as chairman. Mistry is the son of Pallonji Mistry, who controls nearly 18% of the equity in Tata Sons directly and through trusts. That makes him the single largest individual shareholder. A terse statement issued by the board did not give reasons, only that Ratan Tata, chairman before Mistry, will hold the position for four months, and a search panel will look for a replacement for Mistry.
Mistry was chosen as Tata's successor in November, 2011, and was appointed Deputy Chairman of Tata Sons, whose board he had entered in 2006. He was made chairman on the basis of his representation from Shapoorji Palonji, the largest shareholder in Tata Sons. There were no reasons given for the change of leadership of the man who was brought in with much fanfare but it is believed that Tata Sons was unhappy with Mistry's approach of shedding non-profit businesses, including the conglomerate's steel business in Europe, and concentrating only on cash cows.

Kigali Agreement 2016

About Kigali Agreement 2016:
  • In a landmark step to combat climate change, about 197 nations, including India, struck a legally-binding deal after intense negotiations to phase down climate-damaging hydrofluorocarbons that have global warming potential thousand times more than carbon dioxide. 
  • Negotiators and policymakers held meetings all through the night, intensely deliberating to iron out differences over the amendment to the Montreal Protocol to reach the Kigali Amendment to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) - that are widely used in fridges, air conditioning and aerosol sprays.
  • Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a family of gases that are largely used in refrigerants in home and car airconditioners. They, however, substantially worsen global warming. On 14th October 2016, India, China, the United States and Europe agreed on a timeline to reduce the use of HFC by 85% by 2045.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulate all countries for having come together on this critical issue, which will contribute to a greener Earth.
  • Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed today after five days of negotiations, and is expected to reduce HFC use by 85 per cent by the year 2045. 
  • India will reduce the use of HFCs by 85% over the 2024-26 baseline by 2047. The freeze year for India will be 2028.
