In Chennai, India, the Government of India built a factory in 1955 to manufacture Royal Enfield motorcycles under license. Royal Enfield is a subsidiary of Eicher Motors Limited, headquartered in Chennai. The business produces many bikes, including Bullet, Classic, Thunderbird, and Himalayan models. The distinctive thumping sound of Royal Enfield motorcycles has made them a favorite among fans worldwide, especially in India and other parts of Asia, Europe, and the United States.
