Commemorating India’s 80th Independence Day, Mahindra & Mahindra has launched the BE 6 Sporteq at a starting price of Rs 11.45 lakh with BaaS and Rs 19.45 lakh without BaaS. With this update, the entire BE 6 electric SUV lineup has been comprehensively renamed and revised. Mahindra has also introduced a BaaS (Battery as a Service) rental scheme with the new Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq, which reduces the initial ownership cost by allowing buyers to purchase the EV separately and pay a usage-based subscription for the battery.
