Mahindra is charging ahead in the EV race, and it’s not just about flashy launches anymore — it’s about delivering cars to the people. Since March 20, 2025, the automaker has delivered over 3,000 units of its electric SUVs, the BE 6 and the XEV 9e. That’s a clear sign that Indian customers are warming up to electric mobility, and Mahindra seems to have hit the sweet spot with its offerings.
Milestone
Crossing the 3,000-delivery mark in less than a month is no small achievement. It shows just how much interest there is in Mahindra’s born-electric SUV lineup. Both the BE 6 and XEV 9e are built on the brand’s new INGLO platform — a dedicated EV base that’s been engineered from scratch for electric performance.
But what’s more telling is which variant customers are choosing. Turns out, most buyers are going for the top-end Pack Three variant, which means people aren’t just settling for basic electric cars — they’re going all in for premium features.
Bookings
If you’re wondering which of the two models is more in demand, it’s the XEV 9e that’s leading the charge with 59% of bookings, followed by the BE 6 with 41%. Both are doing well, but the XEV 9e is clearly the crowd favorite for now.
Here’s a quick look at the booking split:
| Model | Booking Share | Popular Variant |
|---|---|---|
| XEV 9e | 59% | Pack Three |
| BE 6 | 41% | Pack Three |
Waiting
Now for the not-so-fun part — the waiting period. Currently, both the BE 6 and XEV 9e come with a wait time of up to six months. Demand is strong, and while Mahindra is working on scaling up production and delivery capacity across the country, it might be a bit of a wait before you can get your hands on one.
That said, delivery times can vary depending on where you’re located, what variant you pick, and even the color you choose.
Features
Both SUVs now come with a ‘Default’ drive mode. This new setting is designed specifically for first-time EV users, making the shift from petrol or diesel to electric as smooth as possible. Think of it as a gentle onboarding experience into the world of electric driving.
This move makes total sense, especially in a market where a large chunk of the population is still new to EVs. It’s like training wheels for your new electric ride.
Platform
The INGLO platform that underpins both these SUVs isn’t just about space and structure — it brings some serious performance and convenience. It allows ultra-fast charging up to 175kW, meaning you can go from 20 to 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes. That’s basically a coffee break.
Performance-wise, both EVs are fitted with a motor that puts out a solid 281.61bhp and 380Nm of torque. That’s plenty for highway runs, city driving, and even the occasional off-road adventure.
Warranty
Another cherry on top — Mahindra is offering a lifetime warranty on the battery pack for the first owner. That’s a huge confidence booster for buyers still unsure about EV longevity or maintenance. It’s clear Mahindra wants to assure people that their EVs are built to last.
With over 3,000 deliveries in the bag and demand showing no signs of slowing down, Mahindra’s BE 6 and XEV 9e are off to a solid start. Long wait times aside, the company’s push to scale deliveries, introduce user-friendly features, and back its batteries with a lifetime warranty make it a serious contender in India’s growing EV space.
