The company has been introducing new models, such as the Meteor 350 and the Himalayan, to cater to the needs and preferences of global customers. The expansion of production capabilities will enable the company to further expand its reach and cater to the growing demand for Royal Enfield motorcycles in international markets.
Impact on the Industry
The expansion of production capabilities by Royal Enfield is expected to have a significant impact on the Indian motorcycle industry. The company's focus on electric motorcycles and sustainable transportation options is in line with the Indian government's push for the adoption of electric vehicles and the transition to a greener economy.
Moreover, Royal Enfield's expansion is expected to create job opportunities in the region and further strengthen the company's position as a leading player in the Indian and global motorcycle industry.
