Currently the alliance consists of three major parties — [[Bharatiya Janata Party|Bharatiya Janata Party]], [[Shiv Sena (2022–present)|Shiv Sena]] and [[Nationalist Congress Party]] - along with [[Republican Party of India (Athawale)]], [[Rashtriya Samaj Paksha]] and others.

The [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]]-[[Shiv Sena]] partnership was particularly significant, as the two parties shared a long-standing ideological affinity. The alliance aimed to consolidate their combined strength by leveraging [[Shiv Sena]]'s regional influence and the [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]]'s national appeal.

Under the Maha Yuti banner, the alliance achieved several notable successes, including winning the [[2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election|2014 Maharashtra Assembly elections]] and securing 41 out of 48 [[2014 Indian general election|Lok Sabha]] seats in the state. However, internal tensions and disagreements over power-sharing led to [[Shiv Sena|Shiv Sena's]] departure in [[2019 Maharashtra political crisis|2019]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=ThePrint |date=11 November 2019 |title=Is Shiv Sena taking a huge political risk by separating from BJP in Maharashtra? |url=https://theprint.in/talk-point/is-shiv-sena-taking-a-huge-political-risk-by-separating-from-bjp-in-maharashtra/319338/ |access-date=2 October 2024 |website=ThePrint |language=en-US}}</ref>

The alliance was revived in 2022 following the dissolution of the [[Maha Vikas Aghadi]] government,<ref>{{Cite news |date=22 June 2022 |title=Maharashtra: The political crisis brewing in India's richest state |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61891133 |access-date=2 October 2024 |language=en-GB}}</ref> resulting in a faction of [[Shiv Sena]] joining Maha Yuti alliance and forming the Government with [[Eknath Shinde]] from the rebel [[Shiv Sena (2022–present)|Shiv Sena (2022–Present)]] sworn in as the [[List of chief ministers of Maharashtra|chief minister]] and BJP's [[Devendra Fadnavis]] as [[Deputy Chief Minister|deputy chief minister]]. later in year [[2023 Nationalist Congress Party split|2023]] the [[Nationalist Congress Party|NCP]] faction broke with one remaining in [[Maha Vikas Aghadi|MVA]] while [[Ajit Pawar]] led faction joined MahaYuti Government with [[Ajit Pawar]] swearing in as second [[List of deputy chief ministers of Maharashtra|deputy chief minister of Maharashtra]]. The MY alliance got a huge setback in [[2024 Indian general election in Maharashtra|2024 Lok Sabha Polls]] where it could only secure 17 out of 48 seats losing 24 sitting seats.{{fact|date=February 2026}}

The MahaYuti won the [[2024 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election]] in a landslide, securing 235 seats. Two independents also lent support to the alliance, extending its tally to 237. Following the election, [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] leader [[Devendra Fadnavis]] was sworn in as the [[List of chief ministers of Maharashtra|chief minister]] and Shiv Sena's [[Eknath Shinde]] and [[Ajit Pawar]] were sworn in as [[List of deputy chief ministers of Maharashtra|deputy chief minister of Maharashtra]].{{fact|date=February 2026}}

On 28 January 2026, Ajit Pawar died in a plane crash accident after which his wife [[Sunetra Pawar|Sunetra Ajit Pawar]] sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister on 31 January 2026. Currently she serves alongside Eknath Shinde.<ref>{{Cite web |title=31.01.2026: Sunetra Pawar sworn in as Dy CM |url=https://rajbhavan-maharashtra.gov.in/en/gallery/31-01-2026-sunetra-pawar-sworn-in-as-dy-cm/ |website=Lokbhavan Maharashtra}}</ref>
