The Maharashtra Open, also known as the Tata Open Maharashtra for sponsorship reasons, was an annual men's ATP Tour 250 tennis event held from 1996 until 2023.

The Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA), the governing body of Tennis in Maharashtra state, organized annually the hardcourt championship, which included men's singles and doubles events, at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex or also known as the Balewadi Tennis Complex in Mahalunge, as part of the ATP Tour.

The tournament was owned and organized by RISE Worldwide. It was the only ATP tour-level tennis event held in India. It was also the only South Asia's ATP tour professional tennis event. It was last held in Pune in 2023 (since 2018), before it was moved to Hong Kong in 2024.

History

[[Stan Wawrinka]] is the most successful player at the event, winning 4 titles (2011, 2014, 2015, and 2016) and reaching a further final (2010).
Indian duo of [[Mahesh Bhupathi]] and [[Leander Paes]] won the doubles titles four times between 1997 and 2002, and again in 2011

The Maharashtra Open was held since 1996. The inaugural event was held in New Delhi, and the second edition in Chennai, where it was held as the Chennai Open. In 2018, the championship moved to Pune, a city of Maharashtra, and was rebranded as the Tata Open Maharashtra.

In 2021 due to COVID-19 and a clash of dates with the Australian Open it was not held.
