Royal Enfield India was founded in 1955. In the same year, the Redditch company partnered with Madras Motors in India to form 'Enfield India' to assemble, under licence, the 350 cc Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle in Chennai. In fact, the company received an order of 800 Bullets of 350cc. The first machines were assembled entirely from components shipped from England. In 1957, the tooling was sold to Royal Enfield India so that they could manufacture component. By 1962, all components were made in India. The Indian Royal Enfield uses the 1960 engine (with metric bearing sizes), in the pre-1956 design frame.
Still Royal Enfield produces Bullet 350cc and 500cc in very same style. However, with the passage of time, these motorcycles have been altered but remained same lookwise. In the year 1994, Eicher group acquired the Enfield India and a year later bought the rights to the name Royal Enfield.
At present the company, now an Indian firm, exports the motorcycles to twenty countries including United States, United Kingdom, and other western countries in increasing numbers, though the newer versions (2001) with electric start are becoming more popular than the 'classic' version which is little changed from 1955. Now Royal Enfield is the oldest motorcycle company in the world still in production and Bullet is the longest production run model.
