Classic Legends aims to go full throttle, double sales in FY26
Classic Legends
hopes to double sales in this financial year, going full steam on its growth plans with new motorcycle launches, aggressive global expansion and a wider dealer network, even as discretionary spending remains under pressure.
The Mumbai-based manufacturer of classic brands is looking to mount a stronger challenge to segment leader
Royal Enfield
, which sold a record one million motorcycles last year, according to company executives.
As part of its global expansion, Classic Legends plans to enter seven new markets including US, Europe and South America. Exports to US have been pushed to July from January on regulatory uncertainties.
"Discretionary consumption has clearly been hit, but the stock market gives a false sense of comfort," Anupam Thareja, co-founder of Classic Legends, told ET. "Despite that, we believe our category-classic and adventure motorcycles-is relatively insulated. We're staying bullish."
Classic Legends, which owns the
Jawa
,
Yezdi
and
BSA
brands, ended 2024-25 with retail sales of 32,343 units, up 0.18% from 31,016 units in the previous year, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations.
The company expects to do better this year. It plans to launch four new models across its brands, expand into global markets and increase its retail outlets in India to 500 from 300 by the festive season, said Sharad Agarwal, the company's chief business officer.
On Wednesday, the company launched the
Yezdi Adventure
. With prices ranging from ₹2,17,900 to ₹2,26,900, it competes with the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
In 2023, Classic Legends earmarked an investment of ₹1,000 crore till 2025-26, of which ₹350 crore has been spent. The remaining funds will go toward product development, expanding distribution and boosting exports.
Of the projected 80,000 units this year, 25,000-30,000 are expected to be exported to markets such as the US, Europe and South America.

Airtel's Nxtra raises renewable energy sourcing deal with Ampin to 200 MW
Nxtra by Airtel on Monday said it will source additional 125.65 megawatt renewable energy from Ampin Energy under a fresh agreement signed between the two companies. With this, the total renewable energy partnership between the two companies has crossed over 200 MW (megawatt). "Nxtra by Airtel and AMPIN Energy Transition have strengthened their partnership with a new, power-wheeling agreement involving 125.65 MW of solar-wind hybrid energy through Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) connected plants," Nxtra said in a statement. Earlier, the company had signed two deals for sourcing around 75 MW renewable energy from Ampin. The additional capacity will be delivered to Nxtra in two phases, each through captive solar-wind power projects in Rajasthan and Karnataka, respectively, the statement said. "This achievement highlights our leadership in using ISTS-backed clean energy to power our facilities sustainably, boosting reliability and ensuring tangible climate impact," Nxtra by Airtel, CEO, Ashish Arora said. Ampin has been supplying solar power to Nxtra through intra-state, open access in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha. With this new agreement, AMPIN will add 11 new states as well as new technologies such as large-scale ISTS renewable energy supply and the seamless supply of renewable energy from a single Independent Power Producer (IPP). "With this partnership, we demonstrate that through a seamless blend of inter-state and intra-state renewable energy solutions backed by a pan-India presence, we can take any customer through a nearly 100 per cent energy transition. "Nxtra by Airtel, a leader in the data and fast-growing data centrespace shares our vision for sustainability and we are proud to make data centres green by this association," Pinaki Bhattacharyya, Founder, MD and CEO, AMPIN Energy Transition, said. Nxtra joined the global RE100 initiative in June 2024, pledging to source 100 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources.
