Company’s Verdict:

Siddhartha Lal, chief executive officer of Eicher Motors, said that the responsible for this was the downturn in the two-wheeler and petrol-powered cars market. He also blamed the country’s economic system. Various reputable car makers in the country are currently undergoing a financial meltdown. The amount of sales is constantly decreasing. Companies like Maruti also reported lower sales.

Expert’s Verdict:

According to experts, people are turning to buying battery-powered cars instead of petrol-diesel-powered cars, and many consumers are refusing to buy them. He also attributed the increase in the price of the two-wheeler market, the increase in parts prices and the continuous rise in fuel prices.

According to bike experts, the classic design is why buyers are attracted to Royal Enfield. The nostalgia of the people involved with the bike. But, as most buyers complain, Royal Enfield is technically far behind other company bikes in this segment. Other companies such as this segment include fuel gauge meters, standard ABS, alloy wheels, LED headlights, tubeless tires, etc. But in the case of Enfield, the facilities are not shot. Buyers are also turning away from the bike due to the extra weight and excessive vibration of this bike. There are also allegations of overcharge of parts.

However, Royal Enfield is still at the top of the market for bikes in India, even though profits are low. The company is well ahead of other bike makers in this segment. Also optimistic is Eicher Motors, the maker of Royal Enfield. Coming soon to the market is a new version of the Royal Enfield Classic. The company believes that the market will rise again once the bike is in the market.
