Apart from Chavan, the cabinet ministers from Congress are Narayan Rane, Patangrao Kadam, Shivajirao Moghe, Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil, Balasaheb Thorat, Harshvardhan Patil, Rajendra Darda, Naseem Khan, Suresh Shetty, Nitin Raut and Subhash Jhanak.

The NCP members of the cabinet are Bhujbal, R.R. Patil, Ajit Pawar, Jayant Patil, Ganesh Naik, Anil Deshmukh, Manohar Naik, Vijaykumar Gavit, Sunil Tatkare, Ramraje Naik-Nimbalkar, Laxmanrao Dhoble, Jaidutt Kshirsagar, Babanrao Pachpute, Rajesh Tope and Hasan Mushrif.

Eleven ministers of state - seven from the Congress and four from NCP - were also sworn-in. There are two women minister of state in the new council.
