The Competition Commission of India (CCI) Tuesday said it has appointed Pramod Kumar Singh as its secretary.
Prior to this, P K Singh was adviser (law) to the competition watchdog, said a CCI official.
In September, the fair trade regulator had invited applications for appointment to the post of secretary from eligible candidates.
However, in the case of selection of departmental candidate, appointment of the candidate will be made on promotion basis with five years of experience as adviser to the CCI, the regulator had said in a notice.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the fair trade regulator said: "Shri P K Singh appointed to the post of Secretary, Competition Commission of India."
