Royal Enfield to set up an assembly plant in Thailand

Royal Enfield will set up its first assembly plant outside of India in Thailand under its first wholly-owned subsidiary in the Asia-Pacific region. The new plant will be operational by June 2019. 

The first Royal Enfield dealership of Thailand opened in Bangkok in 2016. The company now plans to expand its dealer network to 15 and set up 25 service centres in the country by March 2020. The new showrooms are expected to come up in the Greater Bangkok area, Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai. 

Thailand was among the first markets in Southeast Asia where the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 were launched. The company has said that it has already received over 700 bookings and has delivered 100 motorcycles in the country.
