Enfield plans to ramp up capacity to 52,000 a month by Dec.

Royal Enfield, the world's fastest growing premium bike-maker clipping at over 40% sales on an average every month since the beginning of this year, will be ramping up its capacity up to 52,000 a month by December, from the current capacity of 36,500 units.

The Chennai-based Eicher Motors-owned Royal Enfield, that makes the iconic Bullet brand of premium motorbikes, has grown over 45% in the first half of the calendar year and is hopeful of sustaining the present growth going forward.

'To meet the growing demand, we have decided to ramp up our capacity to around 52,000 units by December from the present 36,500 units a month. We have also taken land for a third plant near the existing plants for Rs. 70 crore, as we foresee the current phase of robust demand to continue,' Royal Enfield President Rudratej Singh told PTI.
