Eicher Motors delivered its strongest quarterly performance in history during Q1FY27, with consolidated net profit rising 21% year-on-year to ₹1,463 crore. The surge was driven by a 32% jump in revenue from operations to ₹6,632 crore and a 27% increase in motorcycle sales to 332,940 units. Capitalizing on this robust cash generation, the Board of Directors approved a ₹1,225 crore investment for Phase I of a greenfield manufacturing facility in Tada, Andhra Pradesh, on July 29, 2026.
The strategic expansion aims to add production capacity of up to 4.5 lakh motorcycles per year, addressing near-full utilization of existing plants. Upon completion in FY2030, the company’s total Royal Enfield capacity will reach approximately 24.5 lakh units annually. The project will be funded entirely through internal accruals, preserving the company’s debt-free status. This move complements an ongoing brownfield upgrade at the Cheyyar plant in Tamil Nadu, expected to finish by FY28.
