PD Vaghela replaces RS Sharma as TRAI Chairman

Department of Pharmaceuticals Secretary PD Vaghela has been appointed as Chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved Vaghela’s appointment for a period of three years or until he attains the age of 65 year, or until further order, whichever is earlier.

Vaghela will take charge from current TRAI Chairman RS Sharma who is set to retire on September 30.

Prior to joining Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP), under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Vaghela was commissioner of commercial tax in Gujarat. He is counted among the key officers who played a crucial role in the rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017. He was the convenor of important central committees on GST, and shuttled between Gujarat and Delhi to attend various meetings before the implementation of the single tax regime.
