Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6 – Waiting Period Stretches to 6 Months Due to High Demand

Mahindra XEV 9e

Mahindra’s latest electric vehicles—the BE 6 and XEV 9e—are off to a strong start. The company recently confirmed that both models have collectively crossed the 3,000 deliveries milestone since their launch. These EVs are part of Mahindra’s new-gen lineup, and they’re clearly striking a chord with early adopters across India.

Crossing 3,000 deliveries in such a short span shows how rapidly Mahindra’s EV portfolio is gaining traction. What’s more interesting is that demand is heavily skewed toward the premium variants, especially the Pack Three trim, which comes loaded with features and enhanced battery performance.

With this pace, Mahindra seems set to solidify its position in India’s growing electric mobility space.

Waiting

Of course, with rising demand comes a longer wait. Mahindra has confirmed that the BE 6 and the XEV 9e now carry a waiting period of up to six months. However, the exact timeline varies depending on the region, variant, colour, and dealership stock.

For now, customers in metro cities or Tier-1 regions may experience slightly faster deliveries, but rural and remote areas might see extended wait times.

BE 6Up to 6 months
XEV 9eUp to 6 months

The company is actively working on scaling deliveries nationwide, which should help reduce waiting times for upcoming bookings.

Demand

Among the two models, the XEV 9e is clearly the more popular choice, accounting for over 59 per cent of the total demand. The BE 6 follows closely behind with a 41 per cent share. Both models offer compelling styling, solid features, and long driving ranges, making them attractive options in their segments.

Interestingly, a majority of buyers are leaning towards the top-end Pack Three variant, which shows that customers are willing to pay a premium for advanced features and extended range.

BE 641 per cent

Range

When it comes to battery and range, both EVs offer two battery options—59kWh and 79kWh. The larger 79kWh battery offers an impressive claimed range of up to 683km on a single charge. That’s more than enough for long weekend drives or even short intercity runs.

79kWhUp to 683km

This kind of range puts Mahindra’s EVs on par with many global electric vehicles, which is a big deal considering the price-sensitive Indian market.

Expansion

Mahindra has also confirmed that it is currently in the process of scaling up delivery operations across India. As production and supply chains improve, the brand hopes to speed up customer deliveries and bring down the current six-month waiting period.

The momentum is clearly there, and Mahindra seems ready to take the next step in its EV journey. With BE 6 and XEV 9e gaining popularity, more electric launches may soon follow.
