Lal also reacted to the growing demand for electric motorcycles in the market. He said the internal combustion engine will continue to be used for at least the next ten years, even if the transition to EV is witnessing a great spike. In addition, he said for short-distance city commutes, EVs are gaining ground, but for longer trips, internal combustion engines will continue to be the go-to option as long as the time-weight and cost trade-off is favourable.

When asked about the company’s EV future plans, Lal stated that the business is working all day and night towards the same. The team is not chilling and it takes more than usual time for them to test vehicles so that customers get a top-notch product, Lal added.

Meanwhile, RE has been witnessing massive sales over the past few years. And, the demand for the two-wheelers is just growing with each day passing. Recently, the Company claimed that their newly launched Hunter 350 has ]crossed the 1 lakh sales, and most of the customers are new who never owned any Royal Enfield bikes before.
