"My father probably died of heart attack but we will get to know after the postmortem," Harsh Lodha said over phone.
Lodha is survived by two sons-- Harsh and Aditya-- and a daughter Meenakshi. He was embroiled in a bitter legal battle with Birla clan after the widow of M P Birla, Priyamvada, bequeathed about Rs 5,000 crore empire to him.
Lodha took charge as Chairman of Birla Corporation, an issue that was challenged legally by B K Birla on behalf of the entire Birla clan, including Kumar Mangalam Birla.
Family sources said Lodha died on Friday morning.
Lodha, the owner of chartered accountant firm R S Lodha and Company, was responsible for bringing the sixth largest accounting and consultancy firm BDO International to India, tax lawyer S C Vaish said, adding ‘he enjoyed a good reputation’.
He had also served as the president of apex industry chamber FICCI.
