"I welcome a very articulate, able, tech-savvy minister, who I am sure will add momentum to the IT and telecom sector," he said.
The overall direction to the industry has been provided by A Raja but he (Scindia) is likely to add to the momentum to the sector, he added.
Sources from his office said that Scindia is likely to join office in a day or two as Minister of State for IT and Communications after the Minister, A Raja comes back to Delhi.
The scion of the royal family of Gwalior and son of late Congress leader, Madhavrao Scindia, Jyotiraditya Scindai, was inducted into the Union Council of Ministers as Minister of State for IT and Communications on Sunday in a cabinet expansion.
