Speaking about the performance for April 2026, B.

April 2026 was special for us as we took our first step into electric mobility with the launch of the Flying Flea C6 – which has received an overwhelmingly encouraging response. During the month our growing global brand strength was further affirmed as Royal Enfield was recognised as the world’s third strongest automobile brand by Brand Finance.”

Apart from the Flying Flea C6, the Chennai-based two-wheeler brand also rolled out the 2026 Hunter 350 in April. It presented a new Base Premium variant in Tarmac Black paint scheme while adding two new colourways namely Mumbai Yellow and Moonshot White to the higher trims. The 2026 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 was launched at HunterHood festival in Lucknow.
Furthermore, Royal Enfield was recognised as one of the world’s strongest auto brands in 2026 by Brand Finance. The report by the global brand valuation consultancy ranked RE as the third strongest automobile brand globally, and it was among the only eight Indian companies that featured in the global top 100 list. This was indeed a big moment for the Indian brand.
Last but not the least, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 became the highest-selling adventure motorcycle in India and Brazil. The ADV bike posted an annual sales growth of over 53 percent (excluding India). It was the strongest year for the Himalayan 450 globally as sales volumes surpassed 38,000 units. The Himalayan 450 was launched in late 2023 in the global markets, including India.
