The Union Government of India appointed Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar as the new chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) for a three-year term on 13 May 2012. Khullar, a 1975 batch IAS officer of Delhi cadre, replaced J S Sarma, whose tenure ended on 14 May 2012. The tenure of Khullar, who was due to retire in April next year, will be till May, 2015.
As the chief of Trai, Khullar will have a larger responsibility on his shoulder. At a time when the telecom regulator is facing the ire of telecom operators given its recommendations on spectrum auction, Khullar with the help of his wide ranging experience will be expected to bridge the gap between the Trai and widely divided telecom industry.
As Commerce Secretary, Khullar has to his credit the trade normalisation between India and Pakistan. He successfully implemented the measures to help exports cross 300-billion dollar mark in 2011-12. Khullar also represented India's stance at WTO and various other multilateral pacts effectively.
