Royal Enfield, the two-wheeler division of Eicher Motors, Wednesday said it suffered a production loss of 25,000 units in September and October due to a strike by some workers at its Oragadam plant near Chennai.

Royal Enfield's manufacturing facility at Oragadam remained operational through October 2018, even though a part of the workforce continued to stay away from work since September 24, 2018, Eicher Motors said in a regulatory filing.

"Due to the strike, the loss of production for the month of September and October 2018, is 25,000 motorcycles," it added. The company, however, said a majority of its workforce continues to report to work at the facility and is actively engaged in operations.
