Royal Enfield clocked sales of around 1.1 million units in FY26 with a YoY growth of 23 percent in the domestic market in India. The brand had retailed over 9 lakh units in FY25.

The second best performer for Royal Enfield was the Bullet 350.

The new-gen model of the bike went on sale from Sep 1, 2023 in the Indian market.
The Hunter 350 was the third top-seller for Royal Enfield with sales of over 2.38 lakh units in FY26 as compared to 1.92 lakh units in FY25 with a YoY growth of 24 percent. It is the brand’s entry-level model in the Indian market with the lowest starting price of Rs 1.38 lakh (ex-showroom). The sales of the bike were boosted by the GST 2.0 in Sep 2025 which reduced the pricing by around Rs 12k-14k.
