As quoted in the press release of Tata Power (NSE Exchange Filings), Tata Power’s takeover of Odisha’s stressed electricity distribution network in 2020 has evolved into one of the company’s most significant operational transformations. What was once marked by frequent outages, weak billing systems, and financial losses has now become a stable and profitable utility base supporting the company’s wider clean energy ambitions.
Five years after assuming control, Tata Power’s Odisha distribution companies have moved into sustained profitability, delivering predictable earnings and near-continuous power supply across the state. This operational reset has also created the foundation for Tata Power’s ₹10,000 crore investment into solar manufacturing in Odisha.

When Tata Power took over power distribution for the state of Odisha in 2020, the system was experiencing many technical issues, generating low revenue and having poor reliability with regards to the structural support of their existing facilities. Through time, the organisation implemented several measures or changes to improve their existing systems and business operations such as upgrading their electrical grids, monitoring their revenue collection process, being more engaged with their customers, and developing their infrastructure.
By FY26, a positive financial turnaround for the organisation was realised. In Q2 FY26 (Sept '25), Odisha discoms had achieved profit generation of ₹174 crores. Cumulatively from Q1 and Q2 FY26, profit generation equalled ₹279 crores for both quarters combined. This represents a reversal from prior years and turnaround into a continuing profitable operation.
Currently, Tata Power has close to 9.9 million customers within their Odisha distribution systems. Also, due to the improvements made to the company’s infrastructure, the timeframe to restore electrical service after a cyclone has decreased from days to hours.

Now that Tata Power has stabilised in Odisha, the company is establishing its operating structure for all other states, while also looking at distressed utilities across different regions as Central Government policy discussions on private sector distribution continue. India’s distribution sector faces continuing structural issues, with total losses over ₹6 lakh crore.
However, due to its experience in Odisha, Tata Power has joined a small number of private organisations with a significant scale of operational activity in the area of electricity distribution. Therefore, there is a close correlation between movements in Tata Power’s share price relative to how they are influenced by developments within Distribution Reforms, as well as market conditions within the broader industry. A close tracking of Tata Power’s share price has occurred as the company is expanding its operational footprint beyond Odisha.
Tata Power has been granted approval by the Government of Odisha for their solar ingot and wafer manufacturing facility, valued at ₹10,000 crore and projected to produce 10 GW of capacity. This project will receive significant financial incentives, including an extended period of waiver from paying a duty on electricity used and a subsidy for the purchase of power. These incentives will assist in making the project financially feasible.
This facility will assist in meeting the domestic production needs for solar technology, where there are currently many gaps in Indias solar supply chain; at present, most of the upstream components used for manufacturing solar panels are imported. This facility will be in addition to Tata Powers current solar cell and module manufacturing capacity.
In conjunction with power transmissions and the generation of alternative energy, Tata Power oversaw its traditional thermal generating units. Because coal is sensitive to volatility in fuel prices and regulatory environments, the profitability and viability of Tata Power's coal generating facilities have declined when there were lower demand for electricity on a quarterly basis.
Tata Power representatives are actively communicating with state-level authorities to secure and stabilise their traditional thermal units while limiting their risk exposure to each individual unit.
Investors continue to monitor the performance of Tata Power's shares based on their progress in broadening their distribution reach, establishing greater manufacturing and recycling capability for renewable energy products and services, and addressing issues associated with legacy assets. Tata Power's share price can be influenced by investor attitudes toward the energies and/or infrastructure sectors.
Tata Power Limited share price stands at ₹412.35 per share on the BSE as of December 16, 2025 at 15:30 IST, up by 1.08%.
