ଟଙ୍କା ଲୁଟିବା ବନ୍ଦ କର l Power Surplus State, Burdened Consumers | Odisha Electricity Tariff Debate

Описание: In this video, Srikant Jena raises serious and pressing concerns over the high domestic electricity tariff in Odisha, questioning the fairness and rationale of the existing power pricing policy.
Odisha is widely known as an electricity-surplus state, with relatively low-cost power generation due to its rich coal reserves, public sector generation units, and surplus production capacity. Yet, despite these advantages, ordinary domestic consumers in Odisha continue to pay some of the highest electricity tariffs compared to many other states in India.
In his remarks, Srikant Jena points out that power distribution companies like TPCODL have repeatedly increased tariffs, placing a heavy financial burden on middle-class and lower-income households. He questions why the benefits of low production cost and surplus power are not being passed on to consumers.
The video also draws a sharp comparison with several other Indian states where:
Free or highly subsidised electricity is provided to farmers for agricultural purposes
Domestic consumers receive lifeline tariffs or slab-based relief
Governments actively intervene to protect common people from rising power costs
In contrast, Odisha’s common people receive no meaningful tariff relief, even as electricity bills continue to rise month after month.
This video raises critical questions:
Why are domestic consumers paying high tariffs in an electricity-surplus state?
Who benefits from the current power pricing structure?
Why is there no subsidy or relief for households and farmers in Odisha?
Where is the accountability of power distribution companies and the government?
Through this discussion, the video demands greater transparency, policy reform, and public accountability in the power sector, asserting that electricity is not a luxury but a basic necessity that must remain affordable for all.
👉 Watch the full video to understand the real issues behind Odisha’s power tariff, the role of distribution companies, and why urgent corrective action is needed in the interest of the people.
