Mahindra launched the BE 6e electric SUV in India at a starting price of ₹18.90 lakh (ex-showroom), which comes as the first EV from the homegrown auto major's electric-only sub-brand Born Electric. Initially available with a 59 kWh battery pack, the electric SUV will go on sale from January next year, with deliveries slated to commence in late February or early March 2025. The Mahindra BE 6e was launched in the country alongside the XEV 9e, which comes as the first car from Mahindra's other EV-sub brand XEV.

Mahindra BE 6e comes re-energising a segment that has been witnessing an influx of new cars over the last few years, but in the recent past, sales numbers dipped a bit, in sync with the global trend. However, with the plethora of features and advanced technologies on offer in the new set of Mahindra EVs, the electric car segment in the Indian market is expected to see a major boost.

The Indian EV space is currently led by Tata Motors with its fleet of electric cars, the latest entrant in that lineup being the Tata Curvv EV. With the launch of the Mahindra BE 6e, the Curvv EV is expected to see a challenge.

Here is a price and specification comparison between the Mahindra BE 6e and Tata Curvv EV.
