“We recorded strong performance across the board for both Royal Enfield and VECV. We witnessed an outstanding festive season, achieving record sales of 2.49 lakh units,” said B. Govindarajan, Managing Director of Eicher Motors and CEO of Royal Enfield.

“The Government of India’s GST reform has further enhanced accessibility for motorcycles under 350cc, as reflected in the strong customer demand,” he added.

VECV sold 21,901 vehicles during the quarter, compared with 20,774 units in Q2FY25. With record sales, refreshed products, and expanding brand engagement, Eicher Motors continues to strengthen its leadership in the mid-size motorcycle segment.

“VECV delivered a solid performance in Q2 FY26, growing by 5.4% year-on-year and registering our best ever second quarter in terms of truck and bus deliveries. Eicher retained its position as the market leader in Light and Medium Duty Trucks (5-18.5 T GVW), while delivering 10,096 units in the quarter,” said Vinod Aggarwal, MD and CEO – VECV and Vice Chairman – Eicher Motors.

During the quarter under review, the company launched the ‘Eicher Pro Plus’ range of medium-duty trucks with air-conditioned cabs, in line with new regulatory mandates. Equipped with a fuel-efficient compressor system and enhanced loading capacity, the new range is designed to deliver a “win-win” for both operators and drivers.

“GST rationalisation has had a positive impact on consumer confidence and consumption. This will, in turn, support demand for commercial vehicles in the coming period,” Aggarwal added.
