Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of veteran industrialist Ratan Tata, describing him as a visionary leader whose legacy transformed India’s industrial landscape.

In a condolence message shared on social media platform X, Mann said Ratan Tata’s “hard work, commitment, dedicated spirit and simplicity will continue to inspire young generations to achieve excellence in their chosen fields.”

The Chief Minister said Tata’s death marks the end of an era in Indian industry and that his absence has left a void that will be difficult to fill. “His contribution to the nation’s progress and his humility in leadership will always be remembered,” Mann added.

Ratan Tata, former chairman of Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday in Mumbai at the age of 86. He was cremated with state honours on Thursday.
