MUMBAI: Mahindra just summoned the Bat-signal for a second swing because when 999 Dark Knight SUVs vanish in 135 seconds, even Gotham knows demand never sleeps. Mahindra Electric has reopened bookings for the BE 6 Batman Edition, the world’s first commercially available Batman-themed SUV, following overwhelming fan demand after the original 999 units sold out in just 135 seconds. Created in association with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and inspired by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy, the collector’s edition is based on the top-spec Pack Three 79 kWh variant.

Deliveries begin on 10 April 2026. To reward loyalty, priority delivery will be given to bookings referred by existing BE 6 Batman Edition owners.
The edition features an aggressive satin black finish with custom Batman decals on front doors, R20 alloy wheels, Alchemy Gold-painted suspension and brake callipers, and the iconic Bat emblem prominently placed on hub caps, quarter panels, rear bumper, windows, rear windshield and infinity roof. Interior highlights include a brushed Alchemy Gold Batman Edition plaque, charcoal leather with gold sepia stitching, embossed Bat emblems on seats and buttons, pinstripe graphics, custom key fob, welcome animation, and Batman-inspired exterior engine sounds.
The original allocation of 999 units remains the founding chapter; this follow-up creates a second, limited opportunity for fans who missed the initial window.
