MUMBAI: It also aims to supply electricity to areas that fall under the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation, just outside Mumbai's city limits. To this end, MSEDCL, also known as Mahavitaran, has filed a petition for a parallel electricity distribution licence with the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC).

At present, three companies supply electricity to Mumbai, the latest being Tata Power, after Adani Electricity and the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking.
