Maharashtra State Power Generation

What Maharashtra State Power Generation does

Mahagenco (Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited) is a state-owned power generation utility incorporated on 31 May 2005 under Section 131 of the Electricity Act 2003, restructuring the generation functions of the erstwhile Maharashtra State Electricity Board. It is the largest state-owned power generation company in India, with 14,569.59 MW of installed capacity as of 31 May 2026 comprising 10,200 MW of coal-based thermal (seven stations: Chandrapur 2,920 MW, Koradi 2,190 MW, Bhusawal 1,870 MW, Khaparkheda 1,340 MW, Parli 750 MW, Nashik 630 MW, Paras 500 MW), 672 MW of gas (Uran GTPS and waste heat recovery), 2,580.2 MW of hydro (led by the 1,960 MW Koyna complex plus the 250 MW Ghatghar pumped storage and 23 small hydro stations), and 1,117.06 MWp of distributed solar PV. Newer units use supercritical technology, and FGD/ESP pollution control retrofits are being commissioned to comply with MoEF&CC norms.

The company generates and sells electricity exclusively to Maharashtra's state distribution licensees—primarily MSEDCL—under long-term Power Purchase Agreements at tariffs regulated by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) under a Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) framework. Revenue is determined via Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) filings on a cost-plus basis with regulated return on capital employed; the company reported annual turnover of approximately Rs 38,333.58 crore for FY 2024-25 against Rs 56,383.44 crore in fixed assets. Additional revenue streams include power exchange sales, ESCerts trading, and e-auction of fly ash, pond ash, and scrap. Fuel security is supported by the Gare Palma Sector-II captive coal mine in Chhattisgarh (655.152 MT extractable reserves, operated by Adani Enterprises under a 31 March 2021 coal mining agreement), which began production in March 2026.

Mahagenco is executing a substantial capacity expansion and energy transition with a development pipeline exceeding 8,500 MW. Key initiatives include the 2x660 MW Koradi supercritical replacement (Rs 10,625 crore, 80% debt-funded via PFC and REC), the 1x800 MW Chandrapur ultra-supercritical unit, the 50:50 Mahagenco-NTPC Green Energy joint venture (incorporated 25 November 2024) targeting 2,500 MW of solar, a 26 September 2024 MoU with THDC India covering 3,700 MW of alternative energy plus 500 MW of battery storage plus 50 KTPA of green hydrogen (Rs 29,325 crore planned investment), and 3,225 MW of pumped storage hydro projects in partnership with SJVN and the Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation. The company is wholly owned by MSEB Holding Company Limited under the Government of Maharashtra, employs a technical workforce of more than 14,000, and holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications across its major stations.
