Do we like Royal Enfield?

Makes Bullet, Classic, Himalayan and 650cc motorcycles plus a new electric line; based in Chennai, India.

Our score: 6 out of 10. A solid, growing maker with a loyal following and a few quality blemishes. Nothing serious turned up in our searches, but we found little on pay, tax or the environment, so we'd back it with some caution.

Royal Enfield is the old British-born motorcycle brand that now lives in India. It is owned by Eicher Motors. Siddhartha Lal became Eicher's Executive Chairman in 2025, and B. Govindarajan is Managing Director and still Royal Enfield's CEO.

Business is booming. Autocar Pro reported record quarterly sales, and Eicher plans big spending on capacity, including a ₹958 crore expansion at the Cheyyar plant in Tamil Nadu and a new plant in Andhra Pradesh. That should mean more jobs and more bikes.

Quality is the sore spot. Royal Enfield has issued recalls, including a global reflector recall covering its whole range and an earlier recall of about 2.37 lakh bikes for faulty ignition coils. In May 2026 a Tamil Nadu consumer court ordered it and a dealer to pay ₹5.1 lakh over a faulty Continental GT 650.

Our score is 6. The company is well run, growing and has no major scandal, but there are recurring quality complaints and the bikes are petrol-powered. Its first electric bike, the Flying Flea C6, is a start.
