The company will be investing nearly Rs 80 crore to ramp up its capacity at its Chennai plant in a phased manner, Royal Enfield Marketing & Sales Head Shaji Koshy said. The company has already almost doubled its capacity from 28,000 units in 2007-08 to 52,000 units in 2009.

The Siddharth Lal-promoted company will be jacking up its capacity to over 60,000 units this calendar year, Koshy said, while opening 11th Brand Store in the country in New Mumbai.
