TRAI has unveiled an upgraded and revamped website to broaden its reach to connect with a wider audience.
In recognition of the growing importance of social media, new sharing features facilitate the dissemination of regulatory information to all stakeholders. The website offers comprehensive information on telecom and broadcasting regulations, policies, laws, statistics and trends in India, according to a TRAI statement yesterday.
These resources are easily accessible to the public, stakeholders, researchers, and international audiences, the regulator said. The new website includes the following additional features, apart from others
# Introduction of a new dashboard for Telecom & Broadcasting sector.
# Provision of data download for research.
# A Grid View feature, allowing users to view data in a new and interactive format.
# In addition to sharing via email, users can now also share documents directly through major social media platforms, links for visualisation on Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Facebook, X, etc.
# Online registration for subscription to TRAI latest releases and updates.
# New website is compatible with iOS, Android and various platforms.
# A blog with a facility for registered users to comment.

The old website will run concurrently for three months after go-live of the new website. A Chatbot ‘TARA’ (Telecom Authority Responsive Advisor) has been introduced to facilitate interactive search.
TRAI said that these new features aim to enhance transparency, accessibility, and public engagement of the regulator’s initiatives in the telecom and broadcasting sector.
