ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Indian Economy

India remained among the worlds fastest-growing economies in FY 2024-25, with GDP growth pegged at 6.5%, as per the Second Advance Estimates of National Income from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI). This followed a record 9.2% growth in FY 2023-24, led by manufacturing, construction, and financial services. The moderation reflected a stabilisation after a high-growth. Inflation averaged 5.1%, with the RBI cutting the repo rate to 6.25% in February 2025 to support growth while managing inflation. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) experienced growth in key sectors, while GST collections remained strong. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) also indicated positive manufacturing activity. Per capita income continued to increase. The CPI inflation also eased down to 3.34% in March 2025, as per RBIs Bulletin for March 2025.

Global Economy

Global economic growth remained subdued in calendar year 2024, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) outlining a modest expansion of 3.3%, consistent with the previous year. This stagnation was attributed to persistent challenges such as elevated inflation, high interest rates, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. These factors continued to dampen consumer sentiment and investment activities across various regions.

Inflation rates showed signs of moderation globally. Signs of stabilisation were emerging through much of 2024, after a prolonged and challenging period of unprecedented shocks. Inflation, down from multidecade highs, followed a gradual decline toward central bank targets. In our key International markets such as the USA, UK, Europe, Australia & New Zealand the Inflation rate, although moderating, remained

higher than the targeted range of central bank targets. In the key emerging countries such as Argentina and Brazil the inflation remained high, as per IMF, and resulted in an increase in interest rates as well as selective controls on Foreign exchange flows.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Indian Two-Wheeler Industry

According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the two-wheeler industry sustained its recovery trajectory, registering a robust growth of 9.1% in domestic sales, reaching 19.6 Million units in FY 2024-25. This growth was primarily driven by improved rural demand and a resurgence in consumer confidence. Within the two-wheeler industry, the scooters segment grew by 17.4% and the motorcycles segment grew by 5.1% in FY 2024-25 to 12.3 Million units. The motorcycles in the above 125cc segment grew by 6.7%, reaching a total of 3.0 Million units, which now accounts for 24.4% of the overall motorcycle market, compared to 24.1% in the fiscal year 2023-24.

The above 250cc segment grew by 9.9% in FY 2024-25 to 1.0 Million units and is now 8.5% of the overall motorcycles (8.1% in FY 2023-24). Electric two-wheelers also gained significant traction growing 21.6% to 1.2 Million units with their share in overall two-wheeler sales reaching 6.7% during the fiscal year.

However, the two-wheeler segment as a whole is yet to reach the pre-pandemic levels as the industry navigates through higher costs of ownership and sharp increase in input costs.

Global Motorcycle Industry

The global motorcycle industry reached a new all-time high in 2024, with 61.8 Million units sold, a 2.7% year-on- year growth, despite macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical disruptions. This growth was led by India (+14.1%), with strong performances also seen across Latin America and Central America, including Brazil, Mexico, and several Central American markets as per the Motorcycles Data (McD). Western and Eastern Europe recorded healthy growth, with Turkey and the UK contributing significantly. North America saw record sales, driven by Mexicos robust demand. In contrast, sales declined in China (-13.7%) and ASEAN markets (-1.8%), indicating a shift in global demand centres.

As per Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Two-wheeler exports experienced a commendable growth of 21.4% compared to the previous year, totalling 4.2 Million units. This expansion was facilitated by new model introductions, exploration of new markets, and economic stability in regions like Africa and Latin America.

REBALANCE - A STRATEGIC LONG-TERM VISION

Royal Enfield continues to stay firmly anchored to its purpose, mission and values through REBALANCE - a strategic framework designed to enhance long-term business resilience. As the external environment evolves, REBALANCE reflects the Companys intent to recalibrate its mission and renew its commitment to building an agile, future-ready and enduring business. Rooted in the philosophy of Pure Motorcycling, this approach seeks to bring harmony between the rider, the machine and the terrain.

The REBALANCE strategy is built on four core pillars:

Royal Enfield introduced the Guerrilla 450 in July 2024 - a spirited modern roadster built on the new Sherpa 450 platform. Engineered for visceral responsiveness and dynamic road presence, the Guerrilla is a powerful and agile motorcycle tailored for urban agility and weekend exploration. The 452cc liquid- cooled DOHC engine delivers 40 PS and 40 Nm, tuned for accessible power across the rev range, while a newly developed steel twin-spar chassis ensures responsive handling and stability.

The Guerrilla 450 further reinforces Royal Enfields strength in the roadster segment. Since its launch, the Guerrilla has received strong traction among younger riders across India and Europe.

Continuing its legacy as one of Royal Enfields most iconic motorcycles, the Classic 350 was relaunched in August 2024 in a refreshed avatar. With upgraded features including LED headlamps, USB-C charging port and Tripper Navigation, the Classic stays true to its timeless design while embracing subtle modern enhancements. Seven new colourways across five distinct variants further enhance its appeal. Royal Enfield also launched the Factory Custom Programme, offering firsttime personalisation services to Classic 350 customers - a significant step towards bespoke motorcycling. The updated Classic continues to remain a strong volume driver across domestic and international markets.

Launched at Motoverse 2024 in Goa, the Goan Classic 350 is Royal Enfields tribute to the custom counterculture of the 70s and 80s. A bobber- inspired derivative of the Classic platform, the Goan Classic delivers laid-back ergonomics, a single floating seat, chopped fenders and retro whitewall tyres. Equipped with the same refined 349cc engine as the Classic, the Goan Classic offers smooth power delivery with a bohemian twist. With four colourways, modern touches like LED lighting, and a strong connection to Goan heritage, the Goan Classic broadens Royal Enfields lifestyle motorcycle portfolio and has resonated well with riders seeking individuality and aesthetic expression.

BEAR 650 - SCRAMBLER WITH SOUL

Inspired by the legendary Big Bear Run and its youngest champion, Eddie Mulder, the Bear 650 was introduced in November 2024 as a rugged, soul-stirring scrambler.

Based on the award-winning 650cc platform, the Bear 650 features a revised chassis,

2-1 exhaust system, dualpurpose tyres and 184 mm of ground clearance. The motorcycle is engineered to offer an authentic scrambler experience, both in design and performance. Equipped with modern elements such as LED lighting, Tripper Dash and the Wingman Connectivity Suite, the Bear 650 blends vintage aesthetics with modern-day usability. The model has been well received globally for its unique blend of heritage and performance.

SCRAM 440 - BORN FROM ADVENTURE, TUNED FOR PLAY

In January 2025, Royal Enfield launched the Scram 440 - a versatile ADV crossover that bridges urban commuting with all-terrain play. Built on the new LS 440 engine platform, the Scram 440 features a 443cc long-stroke engine, 6-speed gearbox, switchable ABS and dual-purpose tyres. With upright ergonomics, LED lighting and a low seat height of 795 mm, the motorcycle offers enhanced accessibility and fun for both new and seasoned riders. The Scram 440 is positioned as an everyday motorcycle with serious weekend capabilities. The model has attracted interest from adventure- seekers looking for a nimble yet capable machine in the entry-level ADV space.

CLASSIC 650 - DOUBLE THE CHARACTER, DOUBLE THE CHARM

At EICMA 2024, Royal Enfield launched the much-loved and eagerly anticipated Royal Enfield Classic 650.

The magnum opus in Royal Enfields stable, the new Classic 650 is a super-sized version of the iconic silhouette of Classics from the past and stays true to the genetic traits of the Classic family. Its stately, streamlined form is propelled by Royal Enfields acclaimed 650 Twin engine, resulting in a ride that is both swift and graceful. While staying true to traits of the Classic family, the Classic 650 offers riders a powerful new blend of old-school aesthetics and effortless power delivery. Imposing to look at, but friendly to ride, this is unmistakably a Classic that stays pure to the core.

Business Environment

The economic backdrop for commercial vehicle sales in India for FY 2024-25 was shaped by a mix of resilient overall GDP growth, continued focus on infrastructure expenditure (budgeted estimate at 3.4% of GDP) and robust consumption. However, rising geopolitical tensions and proposed U.S. tariffs pose risks to global trade, warranting close monitoring and agile responses.

The Commercial Vehicle (CV) industry remained stable in FY 2024-25 with sales of 4,93,194 units (>3.5T incl. Exports), reflecting marginal growth of 0.6% over sales in the previous fiscal year. Heavy-Duty (HD) trucks declined by

4.6%, impacted by subdued demand for multi-axle vehicles, tippers, and tractors due to sluggish infrastructure and mining activities during the extended election period. The bus segment saw robust growth of 16.1%, supported by increased demand for school and staff transport.

From a policy perspective, we see consistent focus by the Government on modernisation, logistics efficiency and local production. These are supported by initiatives like PM E-Drive for electrification, PM Gati Shakti as an umbrella for logistics initiatives and Make-in-India and Production Linked Incentives to encourage local production and indigenisation.

VECV Performance

VECV recorded robust sales of 90,161 units, marking a growth of 5.4% compared to FY 2023-24. The year was characterised by strong execution across customer-focussed initiatives, digital transformation, technology advancement, and operational excellence. Significant achievements included the entry into SCV segment with electric-first Eicher Pro X assembled on an all-women production line at Bhopal and strengthened leadership in the LMD segment. HD trucks and buses achieved their highest-ever sales, boosted by innovative products like the industrys first Pro 8035XM 8X4 tipper, featuring AMT and 29.5 cum box body and the Volvo FM 420 Road Train.

LOOKING AHEAD

Indias economic momentum remains strong, supported by increasing consumption, infrastructure investments, and a clear policy push toward sustainable growth. As the country prepares for its next phase of development, the Commercial Vehicle industry is poised to benefit from continued capital expenditure in roads, logistics, mining,

and urban development.
