Dear Colleague,

Happy New Year to all of you and your family members.

In spite of the challenges due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, all of us have given our best to ensure good performance of the Company. The capacity addition of 200 Circuit KM Transmission Line and 900 MVA transformation capacity during 2020 speaks of our commitment amidst tough conditions.

We also ensured uninterrupted power supply to the people of Odisha during this pandemic period and timely restored power Post AMPHAN in the affected areas. Further we supplied dry ration to 2658 stranded workers along with free accommodation at 193 project locations with your help during the initial period of shutdown. I congratulate all the employees of OPTCL for their contribution in this success.

However, let us not forget the basic preventive tools i.e Social Distancing, Hand Sanitization and Face Mask. We have to continue with this new normal for some more time, at least. Let us all work together in a team spirit across all cadres and disciplines, to achieve our two core objectives i.e strengthening the Transmission network in the State and optimum reduction of Transmission Losses. Timely implementation of projects with best quality standards and technological interventions will further transform the power infrastructure in Odisha. Particularly I appeal to the young engineers and technicians to bring new innovative ideas to improve our work processes for better efficiency and effectiveness. We have to work hard with high integrity to see OPTCL reach new heights.

With best wishes for the New Year

Dear Colleague,

Wishing you all and your family members a Very Happy New Year. Hope this New Year brings new smiles, undiscovered avenues and unbound happiness. It has been a year of excellent achievements in 2021 for all of us and we have proven our commitment and dedication with significant addition to our system capacity i.e 12 nos. Grid Substations, 784.7 Ckt. KM Transmission line and 672.5 MVA Transformation Capacity.

Apart from our core business of Transmission, we are also implementing many State and Centre funded electricity infrastructure development and rural electrification schemes. Due to our flawless implementation in the past, recently Govt. of Odisha has further sanctioned 1797 Cr. under ODDSSP for construction of 99 33kV primary substations.

I congratulate all the employees of OPTCL for utmost dedication and Project Management skills and hope that they shall maintain the same enthusiasm in 2022.

Within my span of exposure to the organization, I have found best people in all disciplines but optimum result could be achieved only through team. A team work minimizes the effort and multiplies the result. Let us imbibe the 5Ts mantra of Odisha Govt. in our daily assignments to transform the service delivery of OPTCL.

With best wishes for the New Year
