Raghav Chadha calls for constructive politics on TRAI’s special tariff voucher mandate

New Delhi – Raghav Chadha, a member of the Rajya Sabha, responded to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s recent directive that requires all telecom service providers to issue special tariff vouchers to consumers. Chadha described the issue as a matter for constructive politics, urging parties to focus on policy solutions rather than partisan criticism. The TRAI mandate aims to make affordable telecom services more accessible, especially for low‑income users, by allowing operators to offer prepaid vouchers at reduced rates. While the regulator has not disclosed detailed implementation timelines, it expects telecom companies to roll out the vouchers in the coming weeks. Chadha’s comments were reported by ThePrint, highlighting the political dimension of the regulatory move.
