Marathas were defeated in 1818, forming a few princely states that did not last that long 

Arnav

please coonsider @tdziemia as also supported in Prashant kulkarni's book of the coinage of the bhonsla rulers of nagpur, a princely state outbranch of the maratha empire that had not gained a very recognizable status as it fell under the doctrine of lapse 

Arnav

So, the Nagpur coins currently listed under Maratha would move to this issuer?

yes, as nagpur state formed after the collapse of the Maratha empire in 1818.  

It became a British princely state and was annexed in 1853 under the Doctrine of Lapse after the death of the last ruler, Raghuji III, without a male heir.

The new issuer has been set up, the ruling authority for Raghoji III has been set up, and coins in process of moving.
