Royal Enfield is about to build a gigantic new factory in India, and quite frankly, this thing feels less like a normal production expansion and more like the company planting a flag for global domination.
The brand just confirmed plans for a new manufacturing facility and vendor park in Andhra Pradesh with an investment of roughly $230 million USD. Once fully operational in 2032, the plant will be capable of producing 900,000 motorcycles annually. That is an absurd number for a company that many Americans still think of as “that retro bike brand with the slow singles.”
