Royal Enfield Ride

Royal Enfield isn’t just a motorcycle, it’s an emotion. The brand posted six consecutive years of increased sales from 2012 to 2018 with sales numbers increasing from 4,69,741 units to 846,000 during the same period. After this, Royal Enfield suffered a decline of 18 percent in sales in 2019 like most of its peers in the Indian automobile sector. Coronavirus outbreak  has affected Royal Enfield's operations, sales and dealerships across the country. Despite the torrid time in 2020, Royal Enfield is still the preferred choice for the Indian police units. One of the most powerful and rugged Indian motorcycles in the market, Royal Enfield has captured the attention of Kerala Ladies Police.
