Maharashtra State Electricity board (MSEB) was the solo organization looking after electricity operations in the state before the year 2005. Due to operational issues of over sizing of the MSEB, it has been restructured into four daughter organizations. These four companies came into existence in July 06, 2005 – MSEB Holding Company, Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (Mahavitaran), Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company (Mahapareshan) and Maharashtra State Electricity Generation Company (Mahagenco) after unbundling the MSEB.
