Royal Enfield's Cheyyar plant set to become an all-women facility
Gender inclusivity is the new mantra which Royal Enfield wants to embrace fully as the motorcycle maker works towards making its Cheyyar plant in Tamil Nadu an all-women facility. Royal Enfield's CEO, B. Govindarajan, in his social media post, recently shared that the company is focusing on bringing diversity at its manufacturing facilities. "At Cheyyar, we've built our first all-women assembly line and the energy there is something else," Govindarajan wrote, and added that the company is working towards making Cheyyar Royal Enfield's first all-women plant, with a 100 per cent female workforce. Notably, the company's Vallam facility-- also in Tamil Nadu--has the highest number of women employees at any single Royal Enfield facility, accounting for 26 per cent of the workforce there. The two-wheeler maker's CEO and also the MD of Eicher Motors further stated in the post that the organisation's gender diversity ratio stood at around 5 per cent some years ago, and is presently close to 20 per cent. "In FY25 alone, 24 per cent of our new hires were women, surpassing our overall gender diversity target for the year," he noted. In the ongoing calendar year 2025, so far, about 3,90,171 Royal Enfield two-wheelers have been registered in India, according to the Vahan Portal . These figures last year stood at 8,16,741 units, while in 2023 the number was 7,85,342 units. Other vehicle makers, including Tata Motors and MG Motor India , have previously shared announcements around improving the diversity ratio across different functions. For instance, Tata Motors during 2023, had announced an all women assembly line at its Pune Plant. MG Motor India, on the other hand, has close to 40 per cent women in its workforce at its Halol, Gujarat plant.

Royal Enfield Classic 350 Custom Bobber Is a Representation Of the Bygone Era
Royal Enfield has been the preferred choice of enthusiasts who wish to create a custom bike using it as a base. Until now, this has been the case for workshops in India. However, the models and the zeal to bring something new out of them have now spread to other parts of the world. In this particular case, we will take a look at a custom bobber created by modifying a Royal Enfield Classic 350 by Eimor Customs. While traces of the bike remain, most of the design has been changed to look like a vintage bobber. Called the Shibusa, the vintage-looking bike gets retro looks, credits to the round headlamp. This is complemented by new custom-made girder forks ditching the original forks. It is to be noted that this unit has been created in-house for the motorcycle. Apart from changing the aesthetic appeal of the bike, the forks bring significant changes to the geometry of the bike. The bike also gets 18-inch rims with vintage-looking tires on both ends. To achieve the look, the rims get zinc-plated spokes and brass nipples. When it comes to the bodywork, a handmade fuel tank takes center stage, featuring an ornate brass filler cap on top and rubber knee pads along the sides. Positioned directly behind this beautiful tank is a bobber-style seat base, which is adorned with sophisticated brown leather upholstery. The rear fender is set back, with a cylindrical faux oil tank beneath the seat that serves as an airbox and houses electronics. Further back, the bike features an axle-mounted license plate holder next to a brass-encased circular taillight. Image Source- Eimor Customs Other notable elements are brass foot pegs and custom crash bars that adorn the engine, with one bar housing a yellow fog light. Higher up, there is a handlebar with brown leather grips and brass levers, along with a vintage-style Smiths speedometer, but it lacks mirrors. Engine modifications include a custom exhaust and polished lower cases. Eimor Customs opted for a minimal paint scheme in off-white for the frame, swingarm, and forks.
