Auto Sales April 2025: Royal Enfield Registers 6 Per Cent Sales Growth

Royal Enfield is clearly reaping the benefits of 2024 which saw the marque launch multiple new bikes. After finishing FY 25 on a new high note by crossing the 1 million sales milestone, the Chennai-based bikemaker has now started FY 26 with a steady 6 per cent sales growth. A total of 86,559 Royal Enfield bikes were retailed in April 2025, as against the 82,043 units it did in April 2024. However, compared to March 2025, sales have dropped by 14.47 per cent, as against the cumulative sales of 1,01,201 units.  

Particularly noteworthy was how its export business grew from just 6,832 units in April 2024 to 10,557 units – thus helping RE register a whopping 55 per cent year-on-year growth. However, its domestic sales have remained stagnant which grew by a mere 1 per cent. RE managed to sell 76,002 bikes last month, as against the 75,038 units it did last year in the same month.

“After achieving the million unit sales milestone in the past financial year, this year is also off to a flying start,” noted B Govindarajan, Managing Director, Eicher Motors, and Chief Executive Officer, Royal Enfield. 

Moving forward, Royal Enfield has a lot to be optimistic about. For starters, it updated its bestselling bike, the Hunter 350, with a new rear suspension, and a bit more features like assist-and-slipper clutch, etc. This should make the Hunter 350 more easy to ride – something that was robbing the bike of enjoying it fully. Additionally, Royal Enfield also launched the Classic 650 this year, which should further help the marque rake in buyers, given the loyal customer base it enjoys with this badge. 

Last month also saw Royal Enfield launch its ever-popular bike, the Classic 350, in Nepal. “As we move further into the new financial year, we are excited about what’s coming next while staying true to our core philosophy of pure motorcycling,” concluded B Govindarajan.
