The Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6 have achieved a remarkable milestone! Mahindra & Mahindra’s electric revolution continues as the automaker has crossed 30,000 units in combined sales of its flagship electric SUVs within just eight months of launch. This achievement marks a powerful entry into India’s fast-growing premium electric vehicle market, proving that the Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6 resonate strongly with Indian consumers.
30,000 Mahindra Electric SUVs Sold in Just 8 Months
Mahindra began deliveries of the BE 6 and XEV 9e in March 2025, after unveiling them in November 2024. Both models represent Mahindra’s first ground-up electric vehicle designs under its Born Electric architecture. The sales milestone is particularly impressive considering the premium pricing and competitive EV segment.
XEV 9e Leads Sales, Outshining More Affordable BE 6
Contrary to expectations, the larger and pricier XEV 9e has emerged as the top-seller between the two models. Initial predictions suggested the more affordable BE 6 would dominate sales, but customer preferences have favored the XEV 9e’s spacious SUV-coupe design and superior practicality. The BE 6’s compact dimensions and snug interior appear to have worked against it, despite its lower price point.
