Royal Enfield Surpasses 1 Million Unit Sales in FY2025

Royal Enfield crosses record 1 million sales milestone in FY 2025.

An icon in the motorcycle industry, Royal Enfield has hit a very big sales milestone in the financial year 2025. The company crossed the 1 million mark, recording a total of 10,09,900 units sold for the year. This is a massive achievement for the legendary brand, as it registers a 34% year-on-year growth in sales. Owing to the demand, both in India and overseas, along with a series of new model launches, Royal Enfield is riding a wave of success in the two-wheeler space.

Strong Growth in the Domestic Market

Royal Enfield's growth in India has been the driving force behind its historic sales figures. With the domestic market remaining the company's primary focus, the brand managed to sell a total of 9,02,757 units locally, reflecting a remarkable 33% increase in year-on-year sales. The most significant jump occurred in the month of March '16, when Royal Enfield's domestic sales rose to a whopping 88,050 units, compared to a still-respectable 66,044 seen in the same month of '15. This impressive surge is a direct result of Royal Enfield's aggressive approach to new product launches, revamping older models, and responding to market demands with fresh and exciting options.

This growth was fueled by models such as the Hunter 350 and Super Meteor 650. While the Hunter topped the half-million mark in sales, the Super Meteor 650 crossed the 50,000 unit threshold. These two, along with other crowd-favorite options such as the Meteor 350 and Classic 350, saw Royal Enfield grow during the 2022-2023 financial year.

Impressive Export Performance

Royal Enfield's international journey is impressive indeed. The company saw an outstanding 37% increase in the amount of motorcycles exported, sending a total of 1,07,143 units for sale in overseas markets. This trajectory is a strong indicator of not just the brand's but also the company's deepening global military presence. March 2025 alone saw exports amounting to 12,971 motorcycles, for a to-date total that is 36% ahead of last year's figure in the same month. This upward trend tells me that Royal Enfield is finding it easier, rather than harder, to peg itself as a global premium motorcycle brand.

High Quality and Reliability – J.D. Power Study

One reason behind Royal Enfield’s success is its image as a manufacturer of dependable and long-lasting motorcycles. In the 2025 J.D. Power India Two-Wheeler Initial Quality Study, the company won the gold medal for wedded bliss between its motorcycles and their owners. The motorcycles of Royal Enfield's owners reported 9 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) when ridden for over 2,500 km in the first six months of ownership. This low figure, way better than the average of 19 PP100, suggests that Royal Enfield is producing quality motorcycles, and the riders have rewarded it for that.
