The Maratha invasion of the Deccan in 1739, led by Peshwa Bajirao I, was a military campaign of the Maratha Confederacy against the Nizam of Hyderabad. Bajirao's Maratha forces invaded Hyderabad's territories and had a military conflict with Nasir Jung, the son of Nizam-ul Mulk, Asaf Jah.
Subsequently, a treaty was signed between the two parties. As per the terms, the Marathas relinquished their authority to collect taxes from the six provinces of Deccan, while Hyderabad fulfilled its earlier promise by ceding Khargaon and Handiya to the Marathas.
