IMPORTANT: First,you have to update to latest oreo beta rom first. Then updater app will ask to update to pie.

Yeah, you saw that right. we can upgrade to Android 9 pie right now but it's beta version. Although there is no problem I'm facing using it as a daily driver.
And i have locked bootloader.
Although,there is a catch. You might not able to rollback to stable version before Xiaomi release stable pie version because of ARB policy.
Here is the process:
First you must be updated to latest stable version.
Now follow the link below and download the latest Oreo 8.1 beta Recovery rom file:

https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/sakura/

Its important to chose right version between them, or else, it's not going to work.

Now open update from settings, tap on miui10 logo 10 times. You should see more options on three dot menu up right.

Select "Choose Update Package" and select the rom file and install that.
Note: Your all data will be wiped

After successful install, check for update and you should get latest PIE update.
Update it and you are done!
Note: You can't install pie rom directly from stable as Android version is different.

Enjoy latest Android pie in you awesome Redmi 6 Pro until it's stable version released. After release,you can change to stable pie by following same process. You'll get regular update in beta rom as beta rom releases weekly.

I see. Maybe they don't allow to flash oreo beta build as it's way too old now.
Nothing to do if you don't unlock then.

    I dont understand miui versions.

    In miui 10.2.4 is oreo 8

    In miui 9 is pie 9.

    Why ?

    Beta rom build number is given this way by xiaomi..
    Like 9.3.21 means
    9 for 2019
    3 for march &
    21 is the release date.

    As far as I know
