Eicher Motors Limited has announced a new greenfield capacity expansion initiative. The company currently has existing capacity of approximately 14.6 lakh motorcycle units per year, which is close to full utilisation. Through previously announced brownfield projects, capacity will reach 20 lakh units per year by end of FY 2027-28. The new proposal involves a greenfield expansion on 215.7 acres of government-approved land at Tada, Andhra Pradesh. The company plans to invest up to Rs. 2,500 crore, financed through internal accruals, with final plans to be approved by the Board in forthcoming meetings.
This expansion signals strong management confidence in long-term demand growth for Royal Enfield motorcycles. The greenfield project provides additional manufacturing flexibility beyond brownfield plans, potentially supporting market share gains in the premium motorcycle segment.
