Royal Enfield, the motorcycle brand owned by Eicher Motors, has announced plans to invest ₹2,200 crore in a new manufacturing facility and vendor park in Andhra Pradesh. The project will be developed at Satyavedu in Tirupati district near the Andhra Pradesh–Tamil Nadu border.
This will be Royal Enfield’s first major production expansion outside Tamil Nadu and is expected to strengthen the company’s manufacturing and supply chain network in southern India.
The Andhra Pradesh government has allocated around 267 to 450 acres of land across Vanelluru and Rallakuppam villages in Satyavedu mandal for the project. The proposal has been approved by the Andhra Pradesh State Investment Promotion Board chaired by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
The new manufacturing hub is expected to increase Royal Enfield’s annual production capacity by nearly nine lakh units. At present, the company’s annual production capacity stands at around 1.46 million units.
The project will be developed in two phases. The first phase is scheduled for completion by 2029, while the second phase is expected to be completed by 2032.
Along with boosting industrial growth, the project is also expected to create nearly 5,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities in the region. Vendor parks associated with the plant will support ancillary industries and strengthen the local manufacturing ecosystem.
