There are several eras of Magadha - if you are asking about the Maurya Empire, it was established as far as the Indus valley by 322 BCE, by which time the Persian Empire had been taken over by Alexander the Great's Macedonian Empire which itself had already unravelled in the east by the time of his death in 323 BCE. So no, the Persian Empire had ceased to exist by the time the Mauryan Empire took over the Indus. Alexander was fortunate his soldiers refused to go east into India as he would have run into the overwhelming power of the expanding Mauryans and been exterminated.

Darius the Great divided the empire into 20 provinces called satrapies. Also, he gave the 20 provinces Satraps, or governors. Then he made the roads bigger and more efficient.For example, one Greek historian wrote: "Nothing mortal travels so fast as these Persian Messengers ... these men will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night."-Herodotus, from the "History of the Persian Wars"
