Royal Enfield has temporarily paused the bookings for the Himalayan 440 in India after demand for the adventure motorcycle exceeded the company’s initial production plans.

Royal Enfield launched the Himalayan 440 in India on September 2nd 2026 with a price tag of Rs 2.29 lakh (ex-showroom). The automaker is now working towards ramping up its production capacity for the motorcycle to meet the strong demand. Bookings for the same will reopen once production capacity is increased, however the company has not announced a timeline yet.
