Tata Power led Odisha Discoms
has solidified their position as a national leader in the energy sector,
achieving top-tier honors in the Fourteenth Integrated Ratings and Rankings
Report of Power Distribution Utilities for FY 2025. The latest report, released
by the Ministry of Power evaluated a total of 65 utilities across India. This
milestone marks the third consecutive year that the Tata Power-led Odisha
Discoms have been recognized on a national platform for their transformative
impact on the state's power infrastructure.
TPNODL
emerged as a standout performer, securing the 9th position nationally among all
discoms. This milestone marks a significant achievement for Odisha, with TPNODL
and TPCODL both maintaining the prestigious A+ grade, while TPWODL secured a
high-performance A grade.
The
report highlights a significant upward trajectory for Odisha’s power
infrastructure, citing the collective progress of these utilities as a
successful transition toward a modern, resilient power grid. A major factor
contributing to these high national rankings is the marked improvement in
billing efficiency across the state. Specifically, the Ministry of Power cited
TPNODL and TPCODL for recording improvements of over 2 percentage points, a
feat that underscores their technical proficiency.
Furthermore,
all three Discoms have demonstrated exceptional financial discipline by
maintaining an efficient collection cycle, achieving a Days Receivable period
of 60 days or less, which contributed to the broader national trend of the
distribution sector turning profitable for the first time in history during FY
2025.
Commenting
on the recognition, Mr. Gajanan Kale,
Chief of Odisha Distribution Business and CEO, TPNODL said “We are
dedicated to fundamentally transforming India’s power distribution landscape by
building utilities that are not only operationally efficient and future-ready
but also deeply rooted in the needs of our customers. This national recognition
from the Ministry of Power is a testament to our success in placing the
consumer at the heart of our digital and infrastructural evolution. We are
grateful for this honor and remain committed to setting new benchmarks in
reliability and service excellence for every household we serve.”
