Royal Enfield To Launch Diesel Bike in India
The Royal bikes maker- Royal Enfield is planning to launch diesel bikes in Indian market very soon. The Royal Enfield is reported to fit this diesel engine in its Bullet motorcycle range. The Royal Enfield India had launched 2 bikes named Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 500 cc and Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 350 cc; these models are most expected to get the diesel engine.
This is not confirmed by the Royal Enfield but it is expected that upcoming diesel engine bike may be revamped variant of Royal Enfield Classic 500cc or 350cc. Because both the bikes are most popular and flagship models in the market with heavy engine. Both the motorbikes are touching high sales in domestic and overseas market. In India, the Royal Enfield Bullet 500cc is in the waiting period of 8 to 10 months. And the company can get profit of the bikes popularity.
Royal Enfield is also concentrating to increase its base in the market, it has recently re-launched its popular bike Royal Enfield Fury in the overseas market. The bike might be available soon in India. Java was the 1st Indian motorcycle maker which had diesel bikes and got tremendous response from market but due to new emission norms and maintenance cost, the Royal Enfield had stopped the production of the bike in year 1996. Apart from Royal Enfield Bullet, Hero group is also claimed to have diesel engine bike in its stable very soon. The Royal Enfield is reported to equip over 400cc diesel engine in its diesel bikes to be launched in the 4th quarter of the next fiscal.
Fresh bookings stopped for Royal Enfield Classic 350
This could be a sad news for the people who are planning to buy a Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycle in India. The increasing demand for the motorcycle has caused the company to take a bold step which would mean that one would not be able to book this RE motorcycle. The company failing to meet the rising demand of Classic 350 model has decided to stop taking any new bookings for it till year end. On the other hand the booking for the Classic 500 will still be open but the delivery can take upto six months of time!
The company was taken by surprise when all its projected calculation went wrong as the demand was far more than what they have expected. Therefore the company will first clear up the back log and fresh booking will only start until the pending orders have been taken care of. RE manufactures around 650 units of each of its model per month out of which 300 units of each are sold locally and around 350 units of each are exported to other countries. The company is also working on improving its infrastructure so as to increase its production capacity.
