Tata Power Seeks to Expand Electricity Distribution in Maharashtra
Tata Power wants to distribute electricity to more places in Maharashtra, like Mumbai and Pune!
They've asked the government (MERC) for permission.
This is allowed because of a change in the rules.

The government will ask for public feedback and have a hearing to decide if they can expand.

The company seeks a license in Mumbai, Pune, Sambhaji Nagar, and Nashik regions.
