This is the second attempt of the Bird Group’s to launch electric vehicles in Indian markets, the previous tie-up had failed due to monetary losses faced by the parent Swedish company Unity one and it wasn’t launched commercially in the market.

” The design was supposed to be finalized earlier, but due to the countrywide lockdown and stringent conditions on the movement of people, the proposed plan could not work and people could not travel across countries. We would be clear about the next steps when the design is into the final situation and make some substantial progress for a viable product”.
