After the electricity sector reform process resulted in the privatisation of the distribution industry, WESCO was acquired by TATA Power Ltd. as a subsidiary, and TATA Power Ltd. acquired the controlling shareholding of 51%. Now, WESCO conducts its business under Tata Power Western Odisha Distribution Ltd (TPWODL).
