Is 285 bhp of BE 6e overkill for Indian roads?

The Mahindra BE 6e has a power output of 285 bhp which is far more than most cars in the same price range and segment. Exciting though this high power figure is for enthusiasts, it does prompt the question about its practicality in India. In many places Indian roads are congested and speed limits are strictly enforced. Moreover, the high performance driving infrastructure is limited. But the instant torque delivery of electric motors might make for more useable everyday use of this power — from quick overtakes to merging onto highways. But there’s also the question of what this high power output will do to the car’s range and efficiency, which are key factors for an electric vehicle. Some say this power is essential for a premium EV experience, others that it isn't and it could be dangerous in inexperienced hands.
