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.
