The engines will be upgraded to meet the new emission norms resulting in the price hike of Royal Enfield

If you have any plans of buying a Royal Enfield in the near future then don’t waste much time on it. The reason is that soon the prices of the Royal Enfield bikes are going for a hike, thanks to the new emission norms which will be in effect from the month of April this year.

The company is on a project of upgrading the engines of their motorcycles to come at par with the BS III and BS IV norms.

However the extent of this price hike along with the date from when it will come into effect is still unknown.

As of now the company has Royal Enfield Classic, Classic 500, Thunderbird, Machismo and Electra models in its lineup which starts from a price tag of Rs. 1 lakh. The Royal Enfield Classic 500 has the highest demand these days.

To accommodate the increasing demand of its products the company is also working on expanding its manufacturing capacity from 60,000 to 100,000 units annually from its Chennai manufacturing plant.
