Bullet, Hunter, Classic & More Help Royal Enfield Clock 26% Growth in Total Sales in June

Royal Enfield, the world's largest midsize bike maker, has released its sales figures for the month of June. The iconic Bullet maker has registered a 26 per cent increase in its total sales at 77,109 units for June 2023. The superbike maker's domestic sales grew by 34 per cent even as its exports saw a 14 per cent decline, with only 9,614 samples dispatched offshore. In comparison, Royal Enfield - which sells bikes in 350cc and above segments - posted cumulative (domestic + exports) sales of 61,407 units during the month of June in the previous financial year.

In addition, the brand also recorded its best-ever performance in the first quarter of the financial year 2023-24, achieving over 22 per cent growth when compared to the same period of the last fiscal. The company attributed its sales growth to its 350cc motorcycle range, including the Bullet, the Hunter, the Classic, and the Meteor.
