“Royal Enfield has created and been leading the premium category of motorcycles in India for all these years with evocative products such as the Classic and the Thunderbird. In September 2013, Royal Enfield had its first successful global launch with the all new Continental GT- a motorcycle that perfects the essential elements of the most influential idea in motorcycling history – café racing. It is the lightest, fastest, most powerful Royal Enfield in production and possibly the most engaging mid-size motorcycle out there. The launch event held in the United Kingdom was attended by over 100 journalists from across the world. The bike has received tremendous response from the world media on both its authentic styling and performance and deliveries to customers in international markets has already begun. There is a lot of excitement about the India launch of the Continental GT that is scheduled for the last week of November. Being rolled out from the new state-of-the-art Royal Enfield plant at Oragadam, the Continental GT is a truly global product that will strengthen our portfolio as Royal Enfield aims for the position of global leader in the mid-size motorcycle segment”, he added.

“We continue to progress very well on our 50:50 joint venture with Polaris Industries Inc. where all developments are on course”, he further added.
