Unfortunately, it has now once again been reported that Mr. Tata is in the hospital and is in critical condition. He has been kept in the intensive care unit, stated Reuters.
As per the reports from Reuters, two sources close to the Tata Emeritus have stated that he is indeed in critical condition. The exact details have not been shared; however, he has been kept in the intensive care unit of a Mumbai hospital. The name of the hospital has also not been revealed.
Tata’s Response
