To address demand, parent company Eicher Motors has approved a USD 116 million (Rs 958 crore) investment for a brownfield expansion at the Cheyyar manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. This project, expected to be completed over the next 18 months, will increase annual production capacity from 1.46 million units to 2 million units.
In international markets, the Royal Enfield Bear 650 received the ‘Best Naked Bike’ award at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2026. The company also opened its first international apparel store in Russia.
B. Govindarajan, Managing Director, Eicher Motors and CEO, Royal Enfield, said, “February continues the positive momentum we have seen this financial year, reflecting sustained demand across markets and our growing global community. To prepare for current and future growth, we recently announced plans for a capacity addition that will be achieved over the next 18 months through a brownfield expansion at our Cheyyar manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. This will take our annual production capacity up to 2 million units from the existing 1.46 million units. Rooted in our long-term goal to build readiness into our operations, this expansion aims to serve our community as the demand grows. We remain optimistic about the road ahead.”
