On Thursday Anand Sharma appointed as trade minister in the new Indian government, a key post with responsibility for negotiating the country's stand at the Doha round of global trade talks.
A government statement said Murli Deora had been reappointed oil minister, and Kamal Nath, trade minister in the previous government, would become minister for road transport and highways.
He was the junior foreign minister in the previous government and has his roots in youth politics, has little experience of economic portfolios and is likely to toe the line set by his reformist boss, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
