MSEDCL ranks second worldwide by service area
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited, branded Mahavitaran, is the second-largest electricity distribution utility in the world by service area, behind only China's State Grid Corporation. It supplies power across the whole of Maharashtra except for parts of Mumbai handled by Tata Power, Adani Electricity and BEST.

How Mahavitaran organises its 307,000 sq km grid
MSEDCL was carved out of the Maharashtra State Electricity Board in 2005 as part of the post-2003 Electricity Act restructuring. The company supplies power to roughly 30 million consumers and reported revenue of around Rs 1,28,000 crore for fiscal 2024-25.
- Around 30 million consumers across Maharashtra outside the Mumbai city core.
- Coverage area of 307,713 square kilometres, including 534 towns and 44,778 villages.
- Around 54,900 employees as of 2025.

Mumbai city is the exception in the MSEDCL footprint. Tata Power, Adani Electricity and BEST handle the city's distribution in their respective licence areas, while MSEDCL covers suburban Mumbai (Thane, Navi Mumbai) and the rest of the state including Pune, Nagpur and Aurangabad. The utility is part of the broader national distribution landscape.
Why outages depend on whether you live in Pune or Vidarbha
MSEDCL operates one of the most diverse grids in India. Urban Pune and Nagpur receive near-continuous supply, while rural feeders in Vidarbha and Marathwada see scheduled load shedding during peak demand.
Scheduled load shedding
MSEDCL publishes a load shedding schedule by zone and feeder. Rural areas with higher Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses face longer cuts than urban industrial feeders. The schedule is updated in line with seasonal demand.
Pre-monsoon transformer failures
The pre-monsoon heat wave in April-May regularly overloads distribution transformers, leading to localised burnouts. Hinjewadi in Pune and Thane's industrial belt have repeatedly featured in outage news during these months.
Tropical cyclones on the Konkan coast
Coastal districts (Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Raigad) are exposed to Arabian Sea cyclones. Cyclone Tauktae in 2021 caused some of the longest restoration efforts in the MSEDCL grid in recent years.
Helplines and what to do during a cut
MSEDCL operates a centralised customer care centre with multiple channels. Outage complaints register against a 12-digit consumer number that appears on every electricity bill.
- 1912 — toll-free 24x7 national helpline.
- 19120 — alternate national helpline / missed-call service.
- 1800 233 3435 / 1800 212 3435 — dedicated MSEDCL toll-free lines.
- SMS NOPOWER followed by 12-digit consumer number to 9930399303.
- MahaVitaran app (Android and iOS) for complaint registration, bill payment and tracking.
Maharashtra in the wider India grid
When a Pune or Nagpur power cut also takes mobile networks down, several local operators may be affected at the same time. See below for the largest networks in Maharashtra:
- Jio — the largest mobile operator across Maharashtra.
- Airtel — strong 4G and 5G coverage across Pune and Mumbai metro.
- Vi (Vodafone Idea) — third-largest network across the state.
