Royal Enfield will begin retail operations at Thonglor in Bangkok, Thailand in the coming months, from its first exclusive dealership being set up in partnership with General Auto Supply (GA).
GA will also build service and aftermarket capability for Royal Enfield in the region, it added.
“With over 50 per cent year-on-year growth in the last five years, our ambition today is to lead and grow the underserved middle weight segment globally and this growth will largely come from markets like India, Latin America and South East Asia, given their size and comparable commuting trends,”
