Mahindra is back in the EV game, and it’s making waves! The Indian auto giant recently launched two cutting-edge electric vehicles (EVs): the XE9i and the BE6i. While Mahindra was an early player in the EV market, it faced hurdles in adapting to the rapid evolution of technology. Now, the company has roared back with a bang, ready to reclaim its position with these innovative EVs.
Mahindra’s EV journey started nearly two decades ago when it partnered with Austria’s Reva to launch the Mahindra e2o. Though ahead of its time, the e2o couldn’t keep up with growing market demands. Fast forward to today, Mahindra is leveraging its experience to enter the EV race with a fresh perspective.
The EV market is booming, thanks to innovations from global leaders and especially Chinese manufacturers. Mahindra recognized the need to pivot quickly and meet rising consumer expectations with feature-packed and performance-driven EVs.
The XE9i and BE6i are Mahindra’s answers to the EV revolution. These vehicles boast world-class features, competitive pricing, and an unprecedented lifetime battery warranty. Together, they’re setting new benchmarks in the EV industry.
Mahindra isn’t just following trends; it’s setting them. The XE9i caters to those seeking luxury and performance, while the BE6i combines compact design with practicality. Both models promise exceptional range, top-notch tech, and advanced safety features.
Battery Chemistry: Both vehicles use 59 kWh and 79 kWh LFP battery packs, known for their durability and safety.
Charging Speed and Efficiency: These batteries can go from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes with a 175 kW ultra-fast charger—a game-changer for EV users who value time.

Priced at ₹18.90 lakhs for the BE6i and ₹21.90 lakhs for the XE9i, these EVs offer competitive value. Deliveries are slated to begin in February 2025 in India. While not confirmed, the strong demand for EVs in Nepal makes their launch likely.
Mahindra’s lifetime battery warranty is a bold move, ensuring peace of mind for buyers. Add to that a strong performance-to-price ratio, and you have a recipe for success.
Mahindra has a long-standing presence in Nepal with popular models like Scorpio and Bolero. The XE9i and BE6i could challenge the dominance of Chinese EV brands by offering reliable features and brand trust.
While Mahindra faces stiff competition, its focus on premium features and sustainability positions it as a strong contender. The real test lies in balancing affordability with innovation.
Mahindra’s launch of the XE9i and BE6i marks a turning point in its EV journey. By combining innovation, performance, and an industry-first lifetime battery warranty, the brand is set to redefine its legacy in the global EV market. The future of Mahindra EVs looks electrifying!
