Amid talks of a new telecom super regulato that could replace the existing Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), former TRAI chairman Khullar discussed the merits and demerits of such a proposal.
Shares of top telecom operators Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular gained more than 4 percent intraday while rivals Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices gained 3-3.5 percent.
Communication Commission will retain powers that TRAI enjoys, but will also look into other matters concerning other regulators as well like Censor Board, some clearances from Ministry Of Environment, CCI and DoT.
