Kolkata: Two-wheeler manufacturer Royal Enfield has opened its first warehouse in the eastern region at Kolkata to cater to the needs for spare parts, a spokesperson of the company said on Monday.

On exports, the spokesperson said that America is the biggest overseas market for the two-wheeler manufacturer, contributing to 45 per cent of the volume, followed by Europe, West Asia and Africa, with a combined share of 35 per cent.

The Asia Pacific region contributes to 20 per cent of the total exports of Royal Enfield, he said.

More than 27 per cent of Royal Enfield's overall sales in the country come from the eastern region, the spokesperson added.
