Mr Mistry was reportedly travelling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in a Mercedes car.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday expressed shock at the death of former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry and said he was committed to India’s economic progress.
“Shri Cyrus Mistry’s death comes as a shock. He was committed to carrying forward and strengthening his business in infra and infra projects. He desired to keep contributing to India’s economic progress. Condolences to his family and friends,” she said in a tweet.
Mistry (54) was appointed as the chairman of the over USD 100 billion salt-to-software Tata group in 2012. He was replaced in a boardroom coup in October 2016 after 4 years, which saw Ratan Tata coming back to the helm of the group before the reigns were passed on to N Chandrasekhar.
