Bhubaneswar,20th Aug 2025: Reaffirming its commitment to safety and operational excellence, the Odisha DISCOMs, led by Tata Power, have launched a transformative digital solution called ‘Suraksha Kavach’. With this initiative, a new Permit-to-Work (PTW) system has been introduced, reshaping how High Tension (HT) network operations are carried out in Odisha.
This technology-enabled safety shield integrates safety protocols into a strong digital framework. Suraksha Kavach is a comprehensive tool that unifies key aspects of safety and operational management in power distribution activities.
Under this system, every task on HT lines can only be executed after securing a digital permit through the platform, ensuring that safety protocols are embedded into daily operations.
The system incorporates features such as an embedded equipment database, pre-work approvals, structured safety checklists, and real-time communication via SMS and WhatsApp. Altogether, it promotes a “zero-compromise” safety culture within the power distribution network.
