The launch of new studio stores is a significant step towards coming closer to consumers in smaller towns and cities of Maharashtra and we hope to induct more riding enthusiasts into the Royal Enfield world of pure motorcycling. With new motorcycle launches and a host of ownership and service related digital conveniences, we are committed to growing our presence in Maharashtra.”
