Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 9 (ANI): Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. has announced the successful delivery of over 3,000 all-electric Origin SUVs--the XEV 9e and BE 6--since the commencement of nationwide deliveries on March 20, 2025.

The milestone reflects a resounding response from customers and reinforces Mahindra's growing influence in the country's rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) segment.

The new electric SUV portfolio has captured the imagination of buyers across India, with strong booking momentum continuing unabated.

According to Mahindra, the XEV 9e accounts for 59 per cent of current bookings, while the BE 6 holds a robust 41 per cent share. Most customers have shown a clear preference for the fully loaded Pack Three variant, highlighting growing demand for high-tech, feature-rich EVs.

This mode is specifically designed to help new EV drivers feel immediately comfortable behind the wheel, offering a smoother and more intuitive driving experience.

Every vehicle handover is accompanied by a curated set of instructional video guides, educating owners on best practices for electric driving. These tutorials cover efficient charging, range optimization, and detailed walk-throughs of advanced connected features, empowering customers to get the most out of their vehicles from the start.

Just took delivery of my XEV 9e last week! The driving experience is phenomenal and the instant torque is addictive. Mahindra has really stepped up their game with these EVs. Only wish the charging infrastructure was better in my city. 🔋

That's impressive numbers for just a few weeks! I'm still waiting for my BE 6 delivery (booked in March). The waiting period is painful but hopefully worth it. The instructional videos sound like a great idea for EV newbies like me.

While the numbers look good, I'm concerned about the 6-month waiting period. Mahindra needs to ramp up production faster if they want to compete with global EV makers entering India. The 'Default' drive mode is a smart feature though.

Test drove both models last weekend. The BE 6 feels more premium but the XEV 9e has better range. Can't decide which one to book! Anyone here who's compared both? Would love some real user feedback.

Great to see Indian automakers leading the EV charge! 🇮🇳 The Pack Three variant seems to be the sweet spot with all features included. Just curious - what's the actual on-road range people are getting?

The instructional videos are a game-changer! As someone switching from a 10-year-old petrol car, I was nervous about going electric. These small touches make the transition so much easier. Kudos to Mahindra for thinking about the customer experience. 👏
