OREDA, the Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency, is the nodal agency, with TPCODL, TPWODL, TPNODL and TPSODL as the state's distribution companies and OERC as tariff regulator.
Odisha's western and central districts carry some of the heaviest industrial load in eastern India — aluminium smelting, steel and coal-based generation concentrated around Angul, Jharsuguda and Sambalpur. Power is consumed at scale there, and land near that infrastructure has a value under PM Kusum Odisha that has nothing to do with what it yields as a crop.
Rayax develops land-based PM Kusum projects across Odisha. We assess viability, handle OREDA registration, coordinate evacuation approval with the relevant distribution company, and build plants specified properly for Odisha conditions — including cyclone-grade mounting where the site calls for it.
The PM Kusum Yojana Odisha is implemented by OREDA, with TPCODL, TPWODL, TPNODL and TPSODL as distribution companies and OERC as tariff regulator. The state has moved steadily on renewable capacity, and the industrial belt has the grid infrastructure that land-based solar projects depend on.
Registration is handled by OREDA (Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency) through the OREDA PM Kusum portal, with TPCODL, TPWODL, TPNODL and TPSODL managing evacuation and metering, and OERC (Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission) setting the applicable tariff. Application windows open periodically and are usually capacity-capped, so preparing documentation in advance is worthwhile.
Rayax specifies for the conditions that actually exist in Odisha rather than applying a template built for the north-west. Coastal and near-coastal sites need cyclone-grade mounting structures and corrosion-resistant hardware, and standard inland specification does not survive here — a distinction that shows up in the fifth year, not the first. We also check land classification early, since forest-land status is common in parts of the state and complicates development substantially. Beyond that we manage OREDA documentation, coordinate evacuation approval, and build to MNRE standards with tier-1 solar panels.

The western industrial belt — Angul, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur and Dhenkanal — is strongest, combining heavy local demand with the transmission infrastructure that land-based projects depend on.
They need to be, and ours are. Coastal and near-coastal sites require cyclone-grade mounting structures and corrosion-resistant hardware, because standard inland specification does not hold up against salt exposure and high wind loading over a twenty-five year term.
There is no fixed price list. Cost depends on capacity, terrain, evacuation distance, the applicable OERC tariff and — for coastal sites — the additional specification cyclone-grade mounting requires. Rayax sets all of this out in the assessment.
Aadhaar, Record of Rights (RoR) or a registered lease, an active bank account, and details of the nearest sub-station and its available capacity. Land classification should be verified before applying.
Yes. Title stays in your name for the full project term under all participation routes, and the land reverts to unrestricted use afterwards.
