BEIJING, Nov 15 (Reuters) - A unit of Beijing-based
automaker BAIC Group has applied for manufacturing approval for
two Xiaomi-branded electric vehicles (EVs), China's industry
ministry website showed on Wednesday.
    Xiaomi  1810.HK  was not among the latest list of companies
filing for industry ministry regulatory approval to make EVs
though.
    The Xiaomi-branded EVs came after the state planner
green-lit EV manufacturing for the Beijing-based firm, Reuters
reported in August, readying the smartphone maker for mass
production next year. Xiaomi and Chinese authorities have yet to
confirm the news.
