ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Indian Economy
India retained its position as one of the worlds fastest-growing major economies in FY 2025-26, with Real GDP growth estimated at 7.6%, accelerating from the 7.1% in FY 2024-25. Strong domestic consumption, public capital expenditure, and resilient services exports drove the expansion, with agriculture supported by a favourable monsoon. In US dollar terms,
Indias GDP stood at approximately USD 3.92 Trillion, with the economy placed sixth in global rankings, reflecting the impact of rupee depreciation and a statistical revision of the GDP base year, rather than any underlying slowdown. Inflation remained benign through the year, supported by a prolonged decline in food prices. Consumer Price Index (CPI) eased to 3.4% by March 2026, well within the RBIs target band, prompting the central bank to reduce the repo rate to 5.25% to support growth.

Global Economy
Global economic growth remained moderate in Financial Year 2026, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projecting global output growth at around 3.1%. Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, elevated trade uncertainty, energy market disruptions, and tighter financial conditions weighed on global trade, investment activity, and business sentiment across regions. However, resilient services activity and technology-led investments provided partial support to economic momentum.
Global inflation, after easing through 2025, witnessed renewed pressure during 2026 due to higher energy and food prices arising from supply-side disruptions. The IMF expects global headline inflation to rise to around 4.4% in 2026 before moderating gradually. In major developed economies such as the USA, the UK, Europe, Australia and Japan, inflation remained relatively stable within the range of 2%-3.5%, enabling selective monetary easing in certain markets. Meanwhile, several emerging economies continued to face elevated inflation, currency volatility, and tighter monetary conditions, resulting in sustained higher interest rates across markets.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Indian Two-Wheeler Industry
The two-wheeler segment posted its highest-ever annual sales in FY 2025-26 of 2.17 Crore units, with a growth of 10.7% over FY 2024-25, crossing the previous peak of 2.12 Crore units achieved in FY 2018-19, as per SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers).

The exports of two-wheelers from India recorded highest ever mark at 51.8 lakh units in FY 2025-26, marking a growth of 23.4% over last year, driven by a wider product range, growing global recognition of Indian two-wheeler brands, and support from a depreciated rupee as per SIAM.

The global motorcycle industry continued its upward trajectory in 2025, with worldwide sales reaching 65.2 Million units, reflecting a 4.7% year-on-year growth despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.

The premium motorcycle segment witnessed strong traction, driven by rising demand for lower-displacement motorcycles, adventure touring, and lifestyle-led mobility experiences. Simultaneously, electric two-wheelers continued gaining global acceptance as manufacturers accelerated investments in cleaner and technology-led mobility solutions. Indias twowheeler exports remained robust during the year, supported by deeper market penetration across Africa, Latin America, and other emerging international markets.

In FY 2025-26, the Company continued to make meaningful progress towards its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) vision, strengthening its commitment to conscious and responsible business practices across all facets of operations.
1. Green Business Operations
Energy Management
Royal Enfields Energy Management System (EMS) ensures monitoring, control, and optimisation of energy consumption to reduce overall carbon footprint. Royal Enfield has steadily transitioned towards renewable energy, which now contributes to 54% of the energy mix in operations. The Company remains committed to enhancing the share of renewable and cleaner alternative fuels in the overall energy mix. In line with this transition to cleaner energy, the Company commissioned a 1 MW rooftop solar installation in the new Cheyyar plant, operational from May 2025. Green energy usage increased from 50% to 54% over the prior year.
Emission management
During the year, the Company further reduced its emission footprint from 29.1 to 23.5 (tCO^e per motorcycle produced), continuing to explore new ways of achieving resource efficiency and environmental protection. The Company has also disclosed its Scope 1 and 2 emissions as part of the integrated report this year to better estimate the overall emission footprint and draw a path to Net Zero. Focussed interventions helped reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 19% during the year.
Water management
The Company continued to maintain Zero Liquid Discharge across all its operations. It has implemented rainwater harvesting systems and sewage treatment plants, the water from which is used for various applications. EML ensures providing water access to the surrounding community and natural ecosystem. The new Cheyyar facility is water positive and has been operating as a zero liquid discharge plant since inception, underscoring the Companys commitment to responsible resource management.
Waste management
Ensuring a circular economy, the Company adopted the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle across all operational activities. All facilities are zero liquid discharge factories where wastewater is treated in state-of-the-art STP and ETP plants and reused for irrigation and process top-ups. The Company has significantly reduced plastic consumption in packaging and has achieved zero waste to landfill status. The Company has also commenced the usage of Compressed Biogas in operations at the Vallam Vadagal plant.
Supply and Packaging
To drive a more sustainable value chain, the Company has transitioned to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified suppliers for its carton packaging. During the year, the
Company achieved nearly 100% sustainable packaging across its Genuine Motorcycle Accessories range, with all carton boxes now sustainably sourced. Furthermore, within the parts packaging segment, the Company successfully eliminated 85% of single-use plastic covers, replacing them with biodegradable and compostable alternatives.
Dr. Shroffs Charity Eye Hospital:
Since 1996, a long-standing partnership with Dr. Shroffs Charity Eye Hospital (SCEH) has supported the institutions journey from strengthening governance to enhancing day-to-day clinical operations. During the year, support enabled the installation of over 300 CCTV cameras across the main hospital and its network of 44 vision centres across North India, strengthening safe and secure healthcare delivery for more than 28,000 people.

2. Brand-led Social Mission
2 projects on Healthcare and Education, which have the higher allocation of CSR spend. Royal Enfields Social Mission stems from the 75-year-old connection with its Spiritual Home of the Himalayas. Operating at the intersection of Culture, Conservation, and Materiality, the mission is on track to meet its long-term vision of partnering 100 Himalayan communities by 2030 towards building climate resilience.
Some of the notable projects and initiatives this year includes:
Himalayan Hub
A collective learning centre dedicated to developing solutions for environmental sustainability in the Indian Himalayan Region. The Hub works to equip Himalayan youth to become leaders in climate change mitigation and adaptation - through fellowships, grants, and structured programmes - while building resilience within their communities.
Green Pit Stops
An initiative that creates livelihood opportunities for local communities while offering environment-friendly amenities to tourists - including clean drinking water, sanitation, waste management, hygienic local food, charging facilities, service check-points, and local handicrafts. These centres are managed by Self-Help Groups (predominantly women) and serve as shared spaces where local communities and travellers can connect. Designed sustainably using vernacular architecture, the pit-stops also function as showcases and marketplaces for local handicrafts, art, and culture.
The Himalayan Knot
A market linkage programme supporting Himalayan artisan communities practising traditional crafts - weaving, knitting, and working with natural fibres such as pashmina, wool, eri silk, and cotton. The programme spotlights their craft through design interventions and communication campaigns, expanding market access and strengthening livelihoods. The programme also supports the conservation of pastures and rangelands, protecting the livestock of vulnerable pastoral communities, and building skills for value-added livelihoods such as dairy and cheese-making, thereby taking a holistic approach to conserve local heritage and reduce out-migration from the Himalayas.
The Great Himalayan Exploration
A behaviour change initiative that raises awareness and positively shapes tourist attitudes on environmental and social issues, this programme creates active opportunities for riders and travellers to engage with and contribute to CSR-led initiatives. Supported by targeted Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) packs, these initiatives include documentation of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) practices in partnership with UNESCO through rider researchers, and working with remote communities.
To expand reach and deepen impact, the programme is scaling its content dissemination efforts in collaboration with National Geographic, set to air on television and JioHotstar. Concurrently, strategic partnerships are being explored with the Wikimedia Foundation, Ministry of Tourism, travel media such as Conde Nast, Himalayan state tourism boards, and academic institutions to amplify the programmes footprint across knowledge, policy, and cultural platforms.
Keystone Species
The programme works to conserve the critical habitat and unique biodiversity in the landscapes inhabited by the Snow Leopard. The species has deep significance for the indigenous and pastoral communities across five states and Ladakh UT and is a keystone species in the high altitude regions of the Himalayas. Its presence and survival directly influences local biodiversity and shapes the population dynamics of other species in the ecosystem.
Beyond the Snow Leopard, the programme extends its reach to the conservation of other critical landscapes, ecosystems, and species in the region besides coastal and aquatic habitat - with community stewardship at the heart of this effort.
Through the Social Mission, Royal Enfield is also aspiring to encourage and inspire one million riders to explore sustainably and Leave every place better.
HUMAN RESOURCES

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY
The Company has instituted a robust and well-integrated internal control system designed to ensure operational efficiency, asset protection, accurate financial reporting, and strict compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
This internal control framework serves as a safeguard against unauthorised usage or loss of assets, helps in the early detection and prevention of fraud, and supports precision in financial disclosures. It also enables the Company to address emerging business risks and maintain productivity across operations.
In FY 2025-26, the Company undertook a comprehensive evaluation of its internal controls over financial reporting and concluded that these were adequate and operating effectively. As part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening governance mechanisms, the Company continued its initiative, Internal Control, Centre of Excellence (IC-CoE), a specialised project aimed at enhancing control measures across critical functions. The IC-CoE operates as a centralised expert unit, offering continuous advisory support and facilitating consistent process-level oversight. It works closely with project and process owners to ensure that accountability, control adherence, and governance standards are upheld across the organisation.
The Companys SAP-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system acts as a critical backbone for enforcing system-driven controls and validations.
This technology-driven approach ensures real-time tracking, data integrity, and minimises manual intervention, thereby reducing risks associated with human error.
Additionally, EML has implemented comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance frameworks that reinforce the effectiveness of its internal control environment.
These frameworks help ensure that the Companys operations align with statutory and regulatory requirements at all times.
An independent Internal Audit team carries out periodic reviews of processes and functions, as per the annual audit plan approved by the Audit Committee. These audits are instrumental in evaluating the health of the control mechanisms and recommending improvements where needed. The statutory auditors also review the adequacy of internal financial controls as part of their audit procedures related to financial reporting.
The Companys Whistle-Blower Policy and Vigil Mechanism further strengthen its governance ecosystem by empowering employees, vendors, dealers, and other stakeholders to report any unethical practices, fraud, or misconduct without fear of retaliation. This encourages transparency, reinforces accountability, and supports a culture of integrity across the organisation.
Crisis Management
The Company has a defined crisis management framework, detailed in a comprehensive handbook. This handbook outlines the overarching process for managing crises, covering actions, escalation protocols, and communication strategies. All relevant stakeholders, including process/ project owners and crisis response team members across various departments, are required to read and understand the processes and escalation matrices within this handbook. This ensures an effective response to any crisis situation.
The timely management and effective communication with stakeholders during a crisis are crucial for minimising the impact on business operations.
