Mahindra’s electric vehicle (EV) lineup is making waves in India, with the XUV 9e and BE 6 crossing 3,000 deliveries since launch. However, high demand means buyers could face a waiting period of up to six months—depending on variant, color, and location. Here’s the latest update on deliveries, features, and Mahindra’s plans to ramp up production.
Why Is the XUV 9e Facing Such High Demand?
The XUV 9e has emerged as the most popular choice, accounting for 59% of bookings, while the BE 6 makes up the remaining 41%. Key reasons behind its success:
- Longest range in segment—up to 683 km (XUV 9e with 79 kWh battery).
- Premium features—top-end Pack Three Variant is a customer favorite.
- Growing EV adoption—More buyers are shifting to sustainable yet powerful SUVs.

✔ Variant chosen (higher trims may have longer waits).
