After receiving backlash online from multiple existing owners for releasing a second batch of the ‘limited run’ BE 6 Batman Edition, Mahindra has now agreed to buy back units belonging to owners who are unhappy with their purchase. The homegrown automaker launched the first batch of the BE 6 Batman Edition in August 2025, with the unexpected second batch going on sale on March 6, 2026.
- Buyback offer only valid 30 days, starting March 18
- Owners need to contact the dealership to initiate the buy back
- Batman Edition is based on the BE 6’s Pack Three variant
Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition: What is the uproar about?
Mahindra launched the BE 6 Batman Edition and allocated just 999 units for the whole country. Limited in its availability, the homegrown automaker claimed that all of these units were spoken for within a few minutes of the brand opening bookings for the Batman Edition. With the unexpected arrival of the second batch of the BE 6 Batman Edition, barely seven months down the line, this USP faced dilution.
Mahindra then released the second batch of the BE 6 Batman Edition on March 6, 2026, and just like with the first batch, the second batch consisting of 999 units was also spoken, this time within seven minutes of bookings being opened. This is despite the fact that the automaker jacked up the price of the Batman Edition by Rs 70,000 over the first batch.
Noticing the uproar among its customers, Mahindra has responded by offering to fully buy back the first batch of the Batman Edition. Those who are interested in taking up Mahindra on this offer can communicate the same to their dealership, who shall then explain the next course of action. Among its terms & conditions, Mahindra has stated that this offer will only be valid for a period of 30 days, starting March 18, 2026.
Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
This special edition is cosmetic in nature
While it gets various Batman-related decals, badges and other exclusive styling details, the Batman Edition is based on the Pack Three variant of the BE 6. This means it comes with a 79kWh battery pack with an ARAI-claimed range of 682km, powering a rear axle-mounted electric motor capable of delivering 286hp and 380Nm of torque. Similarly, charging options come in the form of a 7.2kW or an 11kW AC charger, both of which cost over and above the car’s ex-showroom price of Rs 28.49 lakh.
