Royal Enfield posted sales of 62630 motorcycles in the month of February 2019, against the sales of 73077 over the same period last year.
Commenting on Royal Enfield’s performance, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director and CEO Eicher Motors Ltd, said,
The latter half of 2018 was a challenging period for the two-wheeler industry in India. Factors like increased insurance requirements, rising raw material costs and the subsequent price increase due to regulatory safety requirements impacted the momentum of the industry. Royal Enfield’s market share recorded improvement on a sequential basis, while volumes in the quarter were impacted. We believe this is a temporary impact due to a price reset. We continue to remain optimistic about the trend of premiumization in the motorcycling industry, and are confident that this trend will continue in the future.
