Several political figures expressed grief over Ratan Tata’s demise, including PM Modi, Rajnath Singh, and Rahul Gandhi.

“Shri Ratan Tata was an unparalleled and ideal confluence of ethics and entrepreneurship. Leading the Tata Group, with its nearly 150-year tradition of excellence and integrity, he was a living legend. The decisiveness and mental fortitude he demonstrated from time to time propelled the Tata Group to distinct industrial heights. I offer my heartfelt tribute to him.”

Nitin Gadkari Expresses Shock
“I am stunned to hear the news of the demise of the great son of the nation, Shri Ratan Tata. I have had an extremely close family relationship with him for over three decades. I have seen and experienced up close the simplicity of such a great person, his ease, his respect even for those younger than him. I learned a lot from him in my life. As the country’s biggest businessman, he made a huge contribution to strengthening the economy and creating employment. He was a true patriot and a man of principles. He was an even greater sensitive social worker than he was a businessman. With his demise, India has lost an ideal and capable son. This country can never forget Shri Ratan Tata. May God grant peace to the departed soul. Om Shanti.”
