MAHINDRA REVEALED THEIR ELECTRIC concepts in Hyderabad prior to the first ABB FIA Formula E Championship. These were the Indian débuts of the "Born Electric" concept following their global exhibition held by the company in August 2022 at its Banbury technology centre in the United Kingdom.

At the Mahindra EV Fashion event in Hyderabad, the company unveiled the Rall-E, a brand-new concept EV SUV. The BE.05 concept, which made its début in India alongside the Rall-E, is essentially an offroad-focused variation of the rugged-looking electric SUV. In addition, Mahindra also organised the début of their XUV.eg concept in India for the first time. The BE.05 and XUV.eg, two of Mahindra's five new concepts, are set to go into production in 2024.

While the BE.05's eye-catching SUV-coupé profile was retained, the fascia underwent a significant makeover for Rall-E. A new metallic paint finsh with a noticeable tow hook, skidplate, and inset round headlamps were used to remodel the complete front bumper, including the LED DRL. In contrast, the BE.05's gloss cladding was swapped for a matte silver finish and the sills also had additional covers underneath to give them a more tough off-road appearance.
