The Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) is the foreign intelligence agency of India.
Sinha's appointment comes as the incumbent Samant Kumar Goel's tenure concludes on 30 June.
According to the order by the Personnel Ministry, Sinha will assume office for a two-year tenure, taking on the crucial responsibilities of leading R&AW.
The incumbent, Samant Kumar Goel, on the other hand, was appointed as the R&AW chief in June 2019 for a two-year term. However, he received two one-year extensions in 2021 and 2022 effectively extending his term for a total of four years.
