Brazil emerged as Royal Enfield’s largest and fastest-growing international market after growing about 71% in FY26, and management said the market is now being treated as the next big market after India.

Risks & Concerns
5
Management flagged commodity inflation as a material headwind, estimating a 3% to 3.5% impact on material cost for Q1 and saying only about 50% is currently recovered through pricing and other levers.
Royal Enfield acknowledged temporary supply disruptions in May from manpower availability, election-related migration, LPG shortages and power issues, although management said the situation is now normalizing.
For Europe, management described a 'market adjustment year' with degrowth and preregistered vehicles still not cleared, which is slowing fresh billing.
Management also did not give a first-phase timeline for the Andhra Pradesh greenfield plant, saying it is still at land-acquisition stage and a business case must be made.
The company avoided quantifying any launch or volume target for Flying Flea, saying it will scale city-by-city and that there is 'no urgency' to expand quickly.
