According to an investigation by three media outlets, including Swedish news channel SVT, Swedish firm Scania had to pay bribes to win bus contracts in seven different Indian states between 2013 and 2016. Scania established a manufacturing unit in India in 2011. "We may have been a bit naive, but we really went for it... we really wanted to make it in India but underestimated the risks,” said CEO Henrik Henriksson.
