From a BBC News article:
BSA is officially owned by Classic Legends, which India's Mahindra group of companies has a 60% stake in.
The joint venture has received support from the UK government, which awarded BSA a £4.6m grant to develop electric bikes, in the hope of creating at least 255 jobs.
"The lure of a classic British machine would appeal to a young buyer as well as a returning rider that wants to relive their youth," says Scott Lukaitis, a motor sports consultant.
"If they can find a way to capture the look and feel but offer it in a performance electric bike, they might have a winner."
Mr Mahindra told the BBC. that he hopes "this small venture signals the renaissance of the entire UK bike-building business".

If you come across the electric car racing that look like formula 1 vehicles on your cable or sattelite tv, Mahindra is pretty prevelant in the sponsorship logos on some of the vehicles.
My first bike was a BSA 250. There was a high pipe and down pipe version. I suspect the seat was better than a lot of stuff today.
