Mahavitaran or Mahadiscom or MSEDCL (Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited) is a public sector undertaking (PSU) controlled by the Government of Maharashtra. It is the largest electricity distribution utility in India (1 largest in the world after SGCC). MSEDCL distributes electricity to the entire Maharashtra state except some part of Mumbai city where [[Brihanmumba ic Supply and Transport|BEST Undertaking]], Tata Power and Reliance Energy are distributors.
The erstwhile Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) was looking after Generation, Transmission & Distribution of Electricity in the State of Maharashtra. But with enactment of Electricity Act 2003 of the Government of India, MSEB was unbundled into 4 Companies on 6 June 2005 viz.
Of these, MahaDiscom is responsible for distribution of electricity throughout the state by buying power from either MahaGenco, Captive Power Plants or from other State Electricity Boards and Private sector power generation companies. The 'MSEB Holding Company' was created to hold all the stakes in these three companies.
MSEDCL supplies electricity to a staggering 25 million consumers across the categories all over Maharashtra.
