Eicher Motors delivered a record Q3 with consolidated revenue of ₹4,179 crore (+12.3% YoY), EBITDA of ₹1,090 crore (+27.2% YoY), and PAT of ₹996 crore (+34.4% YoY), driven by strong Royal Enfield performance and market share gains at VECV. Royal Enfield sold 229,214 units (+4% YoY), with domestic retail hitting a record and new Himalayan (6,500 units sold) and Shotgun 650 receiving strong response. VECV posted record Q3 sales of 20,706 units (+12.4% YoY) and revenue of ₹5,483 crore (+19% YoY). Management remains confident on medium-term demand, citing infrastructure investments and replacement cycle tailwinds. Key risk: export wholesale recovery may take 2-3 quarters due to macroeconomic headwinds in Europe and Australia.

NEW
Export wholesale growth expected in 2-3 quarters

Management expects export wholesale volumes to turn positive in about 2-3 quarters as macroeconomic conditions improve and new products (Himalayan, Shotgun) reach international markets.

VECV to participate in e-bus tenders only with reasonable profitability

VECV will bid for STU e-bus tenders only if payment security and profitability are assured, having participated in the latest tender after resolution of payment concerns.

DROPPED
New Himalayan 452 to be a global volume driver

The all-new Himalayan 452, based on the Sherpa engine, is expected to significantly boost volumes and brand stature globally, with potential to disrupt the adventure touring segment.

DROPPED
Capacity of 1.2 million units with modular expansion

Current installed capacity is ~1.2 million units across both plants, with modular lines allowing further expansion as needed.

DROPPED
Capex spend at 2-3% of revenue

Capital expenditure is expected to remain around 2-3% of revenue, with flexibility to invest more as product portfolio evolves.

NEW RISK
Export wholesale recovery may be delayed

Export wholesale declined 11% YoY due to macroeconomic headwinds in Europe and Australia; management expects recovery in 2-3 quarters but risks persist.

NEW RISK
Red Sea disruption impacting logistics

Shipment costs have increased 25-30% and transit times extended by ~30 days for certain routes, potentially affecting export margins and delivery schedules.

RISK GONE
Export wholesale volatility

International wholesale volumes have been volatile due to cautious inventory management amid macro uncertainty, though retail remains strong.

RISK GONE
EV transition uncertainty

Electric motorcycles remain uneconomical for the premium segment; the Electric Himalayan is a concept, not a production vehicle, and timing of viable EV launch is unclear.
