Why Mahindra is offering full buyback on BE 6 Batman Edition: Details

The buyback option is available for a limited period of 30 days from March 18, and interested owners will need to approach their respective dealerships to initiate the process.

The offer is applicable only to customers who purchased vehicles from the initial batch.The controversy began earlier this month when Mahindra reopened bookings for the Batman Edition.
