Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e
The electric revolution in India just got a serious jolt, and Mahindra is at the forefront of it! With a staggering 30,179 bookings for the BE 6 and XEV 9e on day one, the homegrown automaker has made quite a statement. If you’re wondering which of the two models is leading the charge, the numbers are split at 56% for the XEV 9e and 44% for the BE 6. But the real showstopper? The Pack Three top model with its 79kWh battery pack—it’s the most booked across both EVs.
What’s the Buzz About?
Bookings opened on Friday across select Mahindra dealerships and online, and clearly, the excitement is real. Given that around 1 lakh EVs were sold in 2024, Mahindra’s first-day numbers are nothing short of impressive. The only catch? Production is capped at 5,000 units per month, which means deliveries will stretch from March to August 2025. If you’ve booked one, patience will be key!
