By Arjun Ramanarayanan, IndiCar · Published 22 October 2026 · Market_insights
The XEV 9S has the longest Mahindra wait in Mumbai at 8 months. The XEV 9e and BE 6 Sporteq follow at up to 4.5 months, while the Scorpio N, Bolero and Bolero Neo are at 1 month.
The longest Mahindra wait in Mumbai is for the XEV 9S, at 8 months, according to CarDekho's September 2026 waiting-period report. The XEV 9e and BE 6 Sporteq come next at up to 4.5 months each. At the other end, the Scorpio N, Bolero and Bolero Neo are listed at 1 month, so how long you wait depends almost entirely on which model you pick.
How long is the wait for each Mahindra model in Mumbai?
The electric SUVs carry the longest waits. Most of the diesel and petrol range is at 2 months or less. These are the Mumbai figures from the CarDekho report.
| Model | Mumbai waiting period |
|---|---|
| XEV 9S | 8 months |
| XEV 9e | Up to 4.5 months |
| BE 6 Sporteq | Up to 4.5 months |
| XUV 3XO EV | 2-3 months |
| XUV 7XO | 1-3 months |
| Thar | 2 months |
| Thar Roxx | 2 months |
| XUV 3XO | 2 months |
| XUV 400 | 2 months |
| Bolero Neo Plus | 2 months |
| Scorpio Classic | 1-2 months |
| Scorpio N | 1 month |
| Bolero | 1 month |
| Bolero Neo | 1 month |
Treat these as reported figures, not a promise for your car. A waiting period is a city-level average. The date that matters is the one attached to the specific variant you book.
Why is the XEV 9S wait so long, and does the trim matter?
Yes, the trim matters. Rushlane reports XEV 9S waits of up to 9 months depending on trim. It also reports that Mahindra is prioritising production and deliveries of top-spec trims. Vahan Warta reports that lower trims continue to face supply constraints.
Taken together, these reports suggest that the trim you choose is likely to shape your wait more than anything else. If you are set on a lower XEV 9S trim, plan for the longer end of the range. Get a confirmed delivery date for that exact trim before you commit.
How does Mumbai compare with other cities?
For the XEV 9e and BE 6 Sporteq, Mumbai is the slowest city in the report. The wait here is up to 4.5 months, against 2 months in Delhi.
The Thar and Thar Roxx are quickest in Bengaluru, Noida, Thane and Faridabad. The report lists both at 2 months in its Mumbai row, but it also describes the Mumbai wait as over 2 months. Get your confirmed date before booking.
The Bolero, Bolero Neo and Bolero Neo Plus are readily available in almost every city, according to the report. Their maximum wait is 2 months, in Delhi and Mumbai. The XUV 7XO arrives fastest in Chennai and Faridabad, in under 2 months.
What about the XUV 7XO's 52-week wait?
That figure applies to one variant. CarWale reported that the entry-level XUV 7XO AX had a 52-week wait. The same report said the AX7 T and the petrol AX7 would be delivered in about four weeks.
CarDekho's Mumbai figure for the XUV 7XO is 1-3 months, and the CarWale report shows how much the variant can shift that. If timing matters to you, the variant decides your date more than the model name does.
What do the XEV 9S and XEV 9e cost on the road in Mumbai?
The XEV 9S starts at Rs 22,28,459 on-road and the XEV 9e at Rs 23,61,492. These prices come from IndiCar's price list dated 12 October 2026, for individual registration in Mumbai. Both are electric and come only with an automatic gearbox.
| XEV 9S | XEV 9e | |
|---|---|---|
| Variants priced | 4 | 5 |
| Cheapest variant | One Above | One |
| Cheapest on-road | Rs 22,28,459 | Rs 23,61,492 |
| Most expensive variant | Three Above | Three |
| Most expensive on-road | Rs 32,18,217 | Rs 32,76,751 |
| Gap, cheapest to most expensive | Rs 9,89,758 | Rs 9,15,259 |
On purchase price, the XEV 9S starts lower and tops out lower than the XEV 9e. However, the XEV 9e has the shorter reported Mumbai wait, at up to 4.5 months against 8 months. These figures do not cover running costs.
If getting the car sooner matters more to you than the entry price, the XEV 9e has the stronger case on these numbers. If you want the lower starting price and can plan around a longer wait, the XEV 9S fits.
What makes up the on-road price of the cheapest variants?
Insurance is the biggest item on top of the ex-showroom price. Registration and road tax come to just Rs 2,358 on both cars. Here is the full breakup for each base variant.
| Item | XEV 9S One Above | XEV 9e One |
|---|---|---|
| Ex-showroom | Rs 20,65,000 | Rs 21,90,001 |
| RTO registration and road tax (Mumbai, individual) | Rs 2,358 | Rs 2,358 |
| Insurance (first-year comprehensive) | Rs 1,39,601 | Rs 1,46,383 |
| TCS | Rs 20,650 | Rs 21,900 |
| FASTag | Rs 850 | Rs 850 |
| On-road total | Rs 22,28,459 | Rs 23,61,492 |
| On-road minus ex-showroom | Rs 1,63,459 | Rs 1,71,491 |

What does IndiCar confirm before you book?
Given how much these waits vary by model and trim, you should not book on a city average. Before you book, IndiCar gives you three things in writing:
- Whether your exact variant is in partner dealer stock
- The delivery date for that variant
- The itemised on-road price, line by line, as in the tables above
This matters most for the XEV 9S, where reports point to different supply positions for top and lower trims.
