We continue to build consistent momentum in volumes, profitability and the strength of our overall portfolio. At Royal Enfield, we have sustained our growth momentum in the first quarter, anchored by our continued focus on product innovation, immersive riding experiences and a deeper expression of pure motorcycling. The refreshed Hunter 350 continues to be a key marker of growth for us, both in terms of volumes and community engagement.

VECV reported strong revenue growth and expansion in profit margins linked to better volumes, pricing and cost discipline. PAT was lower as compared to previous year primarily due to one off impact in Q1 FY’25 linked to deferred tax reversal.”
