Hit hard by the pandemic last year, the mobility sector in India has recovered 63 per cent with overall 71 million rides (by January), and autos and bike taxis have shown the highest recovery, a new report said on Monday. The ride-hailing platforms, however, are yet to reach the pre-covid levels when they registered 113 million rides, according to Bengaluru-based consulting firm RedSeer.

"With 71 million rides, the sector has recovered 63 per cent but is still lesser compared to 113 million rides in the pre-Covid days. All the segments have shown gradual recovery with normalcy and unlock resuming," said Sanjay Kothari, engagement manager, RedSeer. With the impact of Covid-19, the sector saw a significant drop in usage last year as offices began remote work culture and most of the educational and other places closed for months.
