Royal Enfield already has manufacturing facilities in Oragadam and Vallam Vadagal where their motorcycles are being produced. So, this will be their third production facility that will help in increasing the production capacity. Royal Enfield has also signed two similar Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) back in Jan 2019 and May 2012 with the Government of Tamil Nadu. The commitments were completed before the stipulated investment period.
2023 was quite good for the manufacturer as they launched the Super Meteor 650 and the Himalayan 450 in the market. People were waiting for both motorcycles eagerly. Currently, the brand is working on launching the Shotgun 650 in the Indian market.
