New Delhi: Mahindra is facing criticism from customers after releasing a second batch of its so-called ‘limited run’ BE 6 Batman Edition. Many buyers of the first batch were unhappy, saying the exclusivity they paid for has been reduced. In response, the company has now offered to buy back cars from those who are not satisfied with their purchase.
The first batch of the BE 6 Batman Edition was launched in August 2025. At the time, Mahindra said only 999 units would be available across the country. These were sold out within minutes. However, a second batch of another 999 units was launched on March 6, 2026, which also sold out quickly, within seven minutes.
Why customers are upset
Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
The issue started because the car was marketed as a limited edition with only 999 units. Buyers expected that the number would stay fixed, making the car rare. But the launch of a second batch just seven months later has reduced that sense of exclusivity.
Adding to the concern, the second batch was priced Rs 70,000 higher than the first one. Despite the price increase, demand remained strong. Still, many existing owners felt the brand’s original claim no longer held value.
To address this, Mahindra has said it will buy back cars from first-batch owners who are unhappy. Customers need to contact their dealership to proceed further. The offer is only valid for 30 days, starting March 18, 2026.
What the Batman Edition offers
The BE 6 Batman Edition is mostly about design changes. It gets special decals, badges and styling elements inspired by the Batman theme. There are no major mechanical changes compared to the standard version.
It is based on the Pack Three variant of the BE 6. The car comes with a 79kWh battery pack, with an ARAI-claimed range of 682 km. It uses a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 286hp and 380 Nm of torque.
Charging options include 7.2kW and 11kW AC chargers, which are sold separately. The ex-showroom price of the car is Rs 28.49 lakh.
