Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Prices Increased By Up To Rs. 3,000
The iconic Royal Enfield Bullet 350 underwent a generation change in 2023, when it finally transitioned to the brand's modern J-series platform, joining the likes of the Meteor 350, Classic 350 and Hunter 350. While the fundamentals have remained unchanged since then, Royal Enfield has introduced a few strategic updates to the Bullet 350's variant lineup and has rejigged the pricing as well. The entry point into the Bullet family is the Battalion Black variant, priced at Rs. 1.75 lakh, which sees no price increase. With its all-black bodywork, golden hand-painted pinstripes, retro-style taillight, scooped single seat, and a rear drum brake, this new base variant is designed to cater to purists who prefer the traditional Bullet styling. Following that is the Military variant which is still offered in Black and Red, which also carries a Rs. 1.75 lakh price tag, getting a Rs. 2,000 hike over its original price. The standard variant, available in Black and Maroon, now costs Rs. 2.00 lakh, up by Rs. 3,000. The flagship Black Gold version has seen a marginal increase too and is now priced at Rs. 2.18 lakh, up by Rs. 2,000. Royal Enfield had also introduced a Military Silver variant briefly, but it has since been discontinued. While the variant mix has changed slightly and prices have gone up by Rs. 2,000 - Rs. 3,000 across the board, the Bullet 350 remains mechanically identical. It continues to be powered by the 349 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 20.2 hp and 27 Nm. However, a noteworthy update lies on the horizon. Royal Enfield is expected to equip the entire 350cc range, including the Bullet, with the slip-and-assist clutch that recently debuted on the 2025 Hunter 350. This small but significant upgrade should enhance the riding experience, particularly in city traffic.

India's Eicher Motors skids on worries about growth-over-profit strategy
(Reuters) - Shares of Eicher Motors dropped nearly 7% on Tuesday as the Royal Enfield motorcycle maker's heavy spending on new launches hurt profit margins, with analysts expecting the company's focus on growth to keep the pressure on profitability. The stock was set for its biggest one-day decline since July 2023 and was the biggest drag on auto stocks. At least six of the 34 brokerages covering the company lowered their rating on the stock, according to LSEG data. Eicher's core profit margins missed analysts' expectations on Monday due to higher sales of lower-margin motorcycles such as the 'Meteor 350', heavy spending on new models like the e-bike "Flying Flea", and increased costs, including on promotions in a quarter that included the major Diwali and Christmas festivals. Elara Securities analyst Jay Kale said though vehicle sales hit an all-time high in the quarter, with growth beating those of rivals, the company's gross profit per vehicle was at a six-quarter low. Kale rates the stock "sell". Morgan Stanley analyst Binay Singh, who rates the stock "underweight", doesn't expect margins to grow soon. "Growth over margins is the right strategy, in our view. But with the stock pricing in high growth and high margins, achieving both will be tough." Eicher's stock has outperformed those of its key rivals, Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor, over the past year. Its price-to-forward earnings ratio of 29.3 is sandwiched between TVS's 38 and Bajaj's 26. However, while six analysts cut their price targets on Eicher's stock, at least 17, or half of all brokerages, raised their targets, factoring in higher core profit from the company's commercial vehicles joint venture with Volvo. Analysts' median 12-month target is now 5,409.50 rupees on the stock, implying a 6% upside to the current price of about 5,102 rupees, per LSEG data. Their average rating is "hold" on Eicher, while they rate both Bajaj and TVS "buy". Sign in to access your portfolio
