Mahindra produces 8,303 electric-origin SUVs in Q4 FY25, dispatches 8,047 units to dealers

Mahindra & Mahindra, which sold a record 551,487 SUVs in FY2025 and registered stellar 20% YoY growth (FY2024: 459,877 units), saw growth increase quarter on quarter (QoQ) throughout last fiscal. While Q2 FY2025 wholesales of 135,962 SUVs were up 9.42% on Q1 FY2025’s 124,248 units, Q3 dispatches of 142,150 units rose 4.55% on Q2. And, Q4 FY2025, which had the highest quarterly volume of 149,129 SUVs (up 18% on Q4 FY2024: 126,100 units) saw a QoQ increase of 4.90 percent. Along with continued demand for key models like the Scorpio, 3XO, XUV700 and the Thar, the strong growth in Q4 was also enabled by the contribution of M&M’s two born-electric SUVs – the XEV 9e and BE 6.

Between January and March 2025, M&M produced a total of 8,303 Born Electric SUVs and dispatched 8,047 units to its dealers across the country, which translates into these two zero-emission models accounting for a 5% share of the total 149,129 SUVs sold in Q4 FY2025. 

Since March 20, 2025, when deliveries of these two models to customers commenced, M&M has completed deliveries of over 3,000 units. According to the company, the XEV 9e accounts for 59% of the current bookings in hand and the BE 6, 41 percent. Also, a significant number of customers have chosen the highest trim ‘Pack Three’ variant with all the bells and whistles in terms of tech and features. With waiting period extending up to six months in some regions, M&M is speeding up delivery capacity across India.

The company is bullish on customer demand coming its way for these two premium zero-emission SUVs, which push the EV envelope with their high-performance drivetrains, in-house assembled lithium-ion phosphate battery packs, top-notch crash safety standards, and a host of interior features benchmarked to the highest level.

Between January-March 2025, M&M dispatched 8,047 XEV 9e and BE 6 e-SUVs to its dealers. This translates into these two models having a 5% share of the 149,129 SUVs sold in Q4 FY2025. Q4 FY2025 with 149,129 SUVs was the best quarter for M&M in FY2025, and helped the company register its best-ever fiscal year numbers of 551,487 units, up 20% YoY.

BUILT ON THE INGLO PLATFORM
The BE 6 and XEV 9e are both built on the INGLO modular, lightweight skateboard architecture platform, which is the foundation of Mahindra's Electric Origin SUVs and represents a fusion of Indian innovation and global standards. This delivers a host of benefits across multiple fronts.

The BE 6 and XEV 9e are built on the INGLO modular, lightweight skateboard architecture platform which delivers a host of benefits across multiple fronts.

The two BEVs get 79kWh and 59kWh LFP Battery options. The 79kWh battery pack enables a certified range of 682km for the BE 6 and 656km for the XEV 9e with 79kWh battery pack. Charging from 20% to 80% takes just 20 minutes (with 175kW fast charger). The rear-mounted e-motor develops power of 210kW and delivers 380 Nm of instant torque to facilitate strong performance.

The 7-airbags-equipped BEV 6 and XEV 9e are also high on the safety quotient and both have aced the Bharat NCAP crash test with a 5-star rating.

Other platform-driven highlights include a semi-active suspension, best-in-class manoeuvrability owing to a variable gear-ratio steering system, an intelligent braking system and a high level of occupant comfort with a multi-link suspension. 

The two new zero-emission SUVs also benefit from MAIA (Mahindra Artificial Intelligence Architecture), which is the advanced neural network that powers the BE 6 and XEV 9e. MAIA integrates state-of-the-art hardware and software to offer an intelligent, connected, and personalised driving experience, which is increasingly a sought-after product attribute for premium SUV and car buyers.

M&M's EV manufacturing hub in Chakan is a fully-integrated, highly-automated manufacturing ecosystem that leverages over 1,000 robots.

HI-TECH CHAKAN PLANT ROLLS OUT NEW BEVs
In early January this year, Mahindra unveiled its new dedicated state-of-the-art manufacturing and battery assembly facility at its Chakan plant, a fully integrated ecosystem dedicated to producing Electric Origin SUVs. This EV manufacturing hub is a fully-integrated, highly-automated manufacturing ecosystem that leverages over 1,000 robots and multiple automated transfer systems.

Spread across 88,000 square metres, the EV-specific facility utilises a fully automated press shop, an AI-driven body shop and one of India’s most sophisticated robotic paint shops with state-of-the-art Dürr equipment to optimise quality and efficiency. The body shop has over 500 robots and fully automated transfer systems, all monitored via an IoT-based ‘Nerve Center’ for real-time process insights and end to end traceability.

The plant also adopts Industry 4.0 tech, AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robot), and AGVs (Autonomous Guided Vehicles) for seamless material movement. The facility also houses a cutting-edge battery assembly operation. This is one of the world’s most compact battery manufacturing lines, and the fully automated plant integrates world-class manufacturing processes developed and implemented indigenously to produce/store/transfer high-performance, long-lasting batteries using industry 4.0 tech.
