At the time when it was revealed, the BE 6 was called the BE 6e, which landed Mahindra in trouble after Indigo sued the Indian SUV giant for wordmark infringement on ‘6E’ which happens to be the airline’s callsign and an integral part of branding. As an immediate response, Mahindra soon renamed the electric SUV into Be 6.
