OERC Secretary and Directors Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) is recruiting a Commission Secretary and Directors for Tariff, Engineering and Regulatory Affairs. OERC is a statutory body established under the Odisha Electricity Reform Act, 1995, with its office at Bidyut Niyamak Bhawan in Bhubaneswar. The notice allows direct recruitment or deputation, so the route is relevant both to applicants seeking a direct appointment and officers considering a move from their current organisation.

Posts and Disciplines

  • Commission Secretary: the secretariat position, distinct from the specialist director roles in the same recruitment.
  • Director of Tariff: the director position linked to the electricity-tariff function.
  • Director of Engineering: the engineering position within the Commission’s director-level recruitment.
  • Director of Regulatory Affairs: the director position covering the regulatory-affairs discipline.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Appointment route: The notice offers direct recruitment and deputation under OERC’s recruitment and service regulations of 1997, including subsequent amendments. It does not describe every post as a deputation-only opportunity.
  • Current public-sector employment: If you work in government, a public-sector undertaking, a regulatory commission or a public university, your application must go through the proper channel. You may send an advance copy to avoid a delay while that process is underway.
  • Travel costs: OERC will not pay travelling or daily allowances for attending the interview. Keep this condition in mind when planning any visit to the Commission.
  • Recruitment discretion: OERC can cancel the advertisement at any stage without giving a reason. An incomplete application will be rejected.
  • Accuracy: The declaration in the prescribed bio-data makes clear that false information or concealed facts can lead to cancellation of selection. Check that the details you give are consistent throughout your application.
