# Royal Enfield Classic 350 Gorkha Edition priced at Rs 2.10 lakh 2026-08-17T19:07:39+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 350 Gorkha Edition at Rs 2,10,684, according to NDTV Profit. The special edition pays tribute to the Gorkha Regiment and features a military green paint scheme along with special insignia and an accompanying riding gear collection. Times Now News reports that the motorcycle was spotted at a dealership ahead of an expected August 18 launch, noting the dark green finish gives the familiar Classic 350 a distinct military-style appearance while leaving the basic design largely unchanged. The publication added that the Gorkha Edition is expected to use the same 349cc single-cylinder engine producing 20.2 hp and 27 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed gearbox. Pricing and the full list of changes have now been announced with the launch, which Times Now News said would determine whether Royal Enfield treated the Gorkha as a purely cosmetic edition or added new equipment. The standard 2026 Classic 350 starts at around Rs 1.87 lakh and received an assist and slipper clutch and a USB Type-C port. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources offer neutral, fact-based coverage. Times Now News provides a detailed pre-launch report based on a dealership sighting, speculating on whether the edition would be purely cosmetic. NDTV Profit confirms the launch price and the regimental tribute, without addressing the mechanical or equipment details. The two reports are complementary rather than contradictory. A careful reader can take away that the Gorkha Edition is priced at a premium over the base Classic 350 and carries a distinct military theme, with no official confirmation yet on mechanical upgrades. Watch for official specification details from Royal Enfield in the coming days. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Straightforward preview of a spotted model, factual description with no editorial slant. - ndtvprofit.com (neutral report) Brief launch announcement with price and theme, no framing beyond the facts.
