Royal Enfield continues to dominate the middleweight motorcycle market, delivering remarkable results in September 2025. The company achieved a total of 113,573 units sold in India, marking a significant 43% rise from the 79,326 units moved during the same period in 2024. This boost highlights the brand’s enduring appeal in the 350cc and 650cc categories, where it blends timeless designs with contemporary features. Looking ahead, Royal Enfield is gearing up to introduce electric models, expanding its lineup beyond traditional classics and adventure bikes.
The sales spike can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the implementation of GST 2.0, which lowered costs for consumers, and the timing of the festive period that traditionally drives higher purchases. Several key models showed outstanding year-over-year improvements, particularly the revitalized Bullet 350 and the revamped Himalayan, which captured the attention of enthusiasts and new riders alike. Below, we break down the performance of each model in detail.

The Classic 350 remains the undisputed leader in Royal Enfield’s roster, with 40,449 units dispatched in September 2025. This represents a solid 22.33% improvement over the 33,065 units from the previous year. Its retro styling, reliable performance, and affordability keep it as a favorite for those seeking a blend of heritage and everyday usability.
