Bicycles have been a major vehicle for personal transport for decades. As technology has advanced, the bicycle trend in India has decreased among the middle and highly-earned, but the importance of this trend returns due to fitness and adventure biking priorities.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Like many other countries around the world, India imposed a national lockdown. Covid-19 impacted the industry mostly in terms of revenue, as April, May, and June are considered the best months for sales. The pandemic has disrupted the entire supply chain. The situation deteriorated due to a labor shortage. However, after the lockdown ended, it is expected to recover well due to growing concern for environmental issues. The pandemic has benefited the bicycle industry. People and the government are becoming more aware of Mother Earth's protection as a result of environmental improvements seen during the lockdown. In addition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan, Vocal for Local, gives Indian manufacturers an advantage.
