Mahindra BE 6 & XEV 9e * **Battery Size:** **79 kWh** * **Claimed Range:** up to 682 km (BE 6) / 656 km (XEV 9e) * **Why it matters:** Built on Mahindra’s dedicated INGLO electric platform, these offer the biggest battery sizes ever seen in an Indian-branded EV, matching the capacity of much more expensive luxury imports. ### 2. Tata Sierra EV & Harrier EV * **Battery Size:** **75 kWh** * **Claimed Range:** up to 665 km (Sierra EV) / 627 km (Harrier EV) * **Why it matters:** Tata's Acti.ev+ architecture brings massive dual-motor and AWD capabilities alongside these heavy-duty battery configurations. --- ## 📊 Quick Summary Table | Category | Model | Battery Capacity | Approx.
