New Delhi, Oct 9 (PTI) Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Thursday condoled the death of industrialist Ratan Tata and said his visionary leadership played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s aviation sector.
Tata, 86, died at a Mumbai hospital late on Wednesday night.
“Heartbroken by the loss of Shri @RNTata2000 Ji, whose visionary leadership not only transformed India’s industry but also played a pivotal role in shaping our aviation sector,” Naidu said in a post on X.
Naidu said his thoughts and prayers are with Ratan Tata’s family and all whose lives he had touched. “May he rest in eternal peace,” the minister added.
