Bengaluru, November 26, 2025: India’s motorsport moment is finally here, and Mahindra is putting India right on the pole position with the launch of the BE 6 Formula E Edition created for a country that’s now watching racing not just as a sport, but as a lifestyle.

Across India, Formula racing and global motorsport viewership is exploding — from weekend screening at cafés, to college clubs recreating race nights, to families tuning in for high-speed entertainment. Racing has become the new-generation culture shift.

And for India, no brand is more authentically part of this world than Mahindra.

Mahindra has been India’s earliest motorsport pioneer - from dominating rally racing decades ago to becoming the only Indian team to win on the global Formula E grid

That legacy deserves a road car worthy of it.
And there is only one SUV with the swagger, attitude, and cult following to carry the flame.

The BE 6. Loud. Iconic. Defiant. And now… electrified by Formula E.

The BE 6 Formula E Edition brings the adrenaline of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to India’s streets – precision driving, aggressive aerodynamics, unmistakable motorsport styling.
