Orissa Post
Orissa Post is an Indian English-language daily newspaper published by the Dharitri Group from Odisha.
Last updated August 26, 2026
Overview
Orissa Post is an English-language daily newspaper associated with Odisha’s Dharitri Group. The publication began in 2011, extending the group’s newspaper presence beyond its established Odia-language title, Dharitri. It is published from Odisha and has been reported as operating editions or publication centres in Bhubaneswar, Sambalpur, Angul, and Rayagada. The newspaper’s geographic identity is closely tied to Odisha. Its coverage serves readers interested in state politics, administration, business, education, culture, public affairs, and regional developments, while its use of English positions it toward readers who prefer English-language news or require coverage accessible beyond the Odia-language press. Its association with Dharitri gives it a place within a broader regional publishing house rather than as an isolated newspaper venture. Orissa Post’s launch followed the earlier development of Dharitri, an Odia daily founded in Bhubaneswar in 1974 by the Samajbadi Society. The English-language title therefore represents a later expansion of a newspaper group with roots in Odisha’s print-media market. The available reference material identifies Tathagata Satpathy as the newspaper’s editor. Publicly documented information in the supplied sources does not establish the newspaper’s ownership structure beyond its association with the Dharitri Group, nor does it provide audited circulation, revenue, employee, or financial data. The brand maintains an official website at orissapost.com, indicating a digital publishing presence in addition to its print-newspaper identity. The available sources do not provide enough information to describe the website’s launch date, subscription model, print circulation, detailed editorial departments, or current edition schedule. Accordingly, Orissa Post is best characterized as a regional Indian English-language newspaper brand with a multi-location Odisha publishing footprint and roots in the Dharitri newspaper group.
History
Orissa Post was established in 2011 as an English-language daily newspaper by the Dharitri Group. Its creation expanded the group’s activity from the Odia-language newspaper market into English-language journalism. The group’s earlier and better-documented newspaper, Dharitri, was founded in Bhubaneswar on 24 November 1974 by the Samajbadi Society. Orissa Post is therefore part of a longer regional publishing tradition rooted in Odisha. The newspaper is published from Bhubaneswar and has been associated with publication locations in Sambalpur, Angul, and Rayagada. This multi-location footprint reflects an effort to provide state-focused English-language coverage across different parts of Odisha rather than limiting the title to the state capital. The available reference material does not specify the exact dates on which individual locations were added, the size of each edition, or the newspaper’s circulation. Orissa Post’s editorial identity is based on English-language reporting about Odisha and India. Its subject areas can reasonably be understood to include general regional news, public affairs, politics, society, and other newspaper content, although the supplied references do not provide a detailed editorial format or section list. Tathagata Satpathy is identified as the editor in the available reference material. The newspaper also operates an official website, orissapost.com, giving the brand a digital distribution channel. The supplied sources do not establish whether the digital platform is a separate online newsroom, a digital version of the print paper, or both. They also do not document circulation, financial performance, ownership arrangements, staffing beyond the named editor, awards, major campaigns, controversies, acquisitions, or changes in editorial strategy. No verified financial figures or market-share data are included in this dossier.
