About Telecom Regulatory Authority of India
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, popular by its acronym TRAI, is the chief regulatory body of the telecom industry in India. It was established in the year 1997 with the introduction of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act. Operating from its headquarters at New Delhi, TRA works for the adequate provision of telecommunications services throughout the country and developing the level of service to achieve the interests of subscribers. It further facilitates “fair competition” and ensures the licensees adhere to quality standards of performance. The organisation structure consists of one chairman, two full time and two part time members. There are secretaries and advisors in the regional offices situated at Bengaluru, Jaipur, Hyderabad and Bhopal.
Telecom sector is a fast evolving sector in India. The country is currently the second largest telecom market with a subscriber base exceeding 1.2bn. It is also the world’s fast growing market for mobile apps. As a regulatory body, TRAI has policies and measures in place for consumer protection, ensure affordable tariff, regulate interconnections, and make recommendations. It gives recommendations to the government on key issues like cloud services, spectrum, roaming, net neutrality, in-flight connectivity, among others. The list of functions and activities are published on the official website. You can also follow the upcoming events, consultation papers, regulations/orders and recommendations. Papers and orders can be tracked by sections such as telecom tariff, interconnection, spectrum, VAS, mobile number portability and licensing. The same is also available for Broadcasting.

Some of the wireless service providers listed include Tata Teleservices, Reliance Jio, Reliance Telecom, Reliance Communication, MTNL, Vodafone Idea, BSNL, Bharti Airtel and Aircel. TRAI brings all their tariffs under one section so consumers are educated on the existing plans and pricing. Under the tariffs section, you can filter by prepaid/postpaid, circle and operator. You can see the tariffs for landline, mobile as well as broadband. The details will show you the product name, price, and validity.
