Notably, Maharashtra is the largest producer and consumer of electricity in India. Maharashtra is known as one of the leading states in the power sector in rural electrification, renewable energy development, capacity enhancement and regulatory institution creation. However, despite all the efforts of the government in the field of energy, the state is facing many challenges.
