Eicher Motors Limited announced today, February 10, 2026, that its Board of Directors has approved a significant capacity expansion for its Royal Enfield motorcycles.
The company's existing capacity stands at approximately 14.6 lakh motorcycle units per year across all its plants, with current utilization being close to full capacity. The proposed expansion aims to increase the total capacity to up to 20 lakh motorcycle units per year.
This expansion will be a brownfield project at the company's plant in Cheyyar, Tamil Nadu, with an estimated investment of ₹958 Crore. The ramp-up of the new capacity is planned to commence in a phased manner starting from the first quarter of the financial year 2026-27 and is expected to be completed by the financial year 2027-28. The investment will be funded through internal accruals, driven by the rationale to cater to increasing demand.
