BERHAMPUR, SEP 11
Tata Power Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL) has made notable strides in enhancing the power infrastructure across Southern Odisha, successfully navigating challenges posed by the region’s challenging terrain, including hilly landscapes, dense forests, and remote areas. These upgrades highlight TPSODL’s dedication to delivering reliable electricity to every corner of Southern Odisha.
The company’s efforts to improve power infrastructure have significantly transformed the lives of residents in the region, providing quality electricity to homes, schools, hospitals, and emergency services, and thereby improving the quality of life for all. Over the past three financial years, TPSODL has installed approximately 274 circuit kilometres of 33 KV power lines, enhancing power reliability for consumers in some of the most remote areas of Southern Odisha.
In the fiscal year 2023-24, TPSODL laid 129.70 circuit kilometres of 33 KV lines across various districts in Southern Odisha, greatly improving power reliability for nearly 76,000 consumers. The previous fiscal year saw the installation of 125.70 circuit kilometres of lines, benefiting over 72,000 people. Additionally, in the fiscal year 2021-22, TPSODL established 19 circuit kilometres of 33 KV lines, directly improving power supply for 10,925 consumers.
Looking ahead, TPSODL has ambitious plans for the current financial year, focusing on both strengthening existing infrastructure and erecting new lines across Southern Odisha. This extensive expansion plan is already in progress, aiming to further enhance the region’s power infrastructure and provide consistent electricity to even more residents.
TPSODL CEO Amit Kumar Garg expressed his pride in the company’s achievements, stating, “Our mission is to ensure a high-quality power supply across Southern Odisha, despite the challenges posed by the region’s geography. The infrastructural upgrades we’ve made over the past three years are just the beginning. We are committed to continuous improvement and expansion to better serve the people of Southern Odisha.”
One of the key projects recently completed by TPSODL includes the installation of a new 33 KV line from the Gunupur Grid Substation to the Bikrampur Primary Substation. This project has significantly enhanced the stability of the power supply for residents in the Jagannathpur, Gotalpadar, Morama, Sirijholli, and Bagasala panchayats within the Gunupur block of Rayagada district.
Sharing his satisfaction with the improved service, Nitesh Padhy, a resident of Gunupur, remarked, “Since TPSODL took over the power supply, we have noticed a significant improvement in service reliability. Power interruptions have been greatly reduced, and we are thankful for the TPSODL team’s efforts in bringing about this positive change.”
TPSODL remains committed to its goal of providing a reliable and consistent power supply to every resident of Southern Odisha, contributing to the region’s development and the well-being of its people.
