The Story in Brief
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has set a 2030 deadline for quality and reliable electricity across Odisha. He reviewed Energy Department projects and directed officials to speed up work. Over the past two years, 15 new grid substations and 788.99 circuit kilometres of transmission lines have been added.
Plans include a 765 kV grid ring system, three 765/400 kV substations, and nine new 400 kV substations across the state. The government says these projects will strengthen the transmission network and meet future demand. Majhi stressed that quality power for all is a priority.
The Indian Opinion
This is a familiar promise from state governments, but Odisha's plan is unusually concrete with 15 new substations already built and a 765 kV ring system under way. The sceptic will question whether 2030 is realistic given past delays. The real test will come if the next two years see three 765/400 kV substations completed on time. If they do, the target may hold. If not, it is just another election-cycle announcement.
