After India gained independence in 1947, her government looked for a suitable motorcycle for the army patrolling the borders. In 1952 they chose the Royal Enfield Bullet, in 1954 ordering 800 units of the 350 cc model. In 1955, the Redditch company partnered with Madras Motors in India to form 'Enfield India' to assemble, under licence, the 350 cc Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle in Madras (now Chennai), including the factory tooling, sold to Enfield India.{{Cite web|title=History {{!}} Royal Enfield {{!}} "Made Like A Gun", Since 1901|url=https://royalenfield.com.au/about/|access-date=2021-02-03|website=Royal Enfield Australia}} By 1962, all components were made in India. Enfield India used the 1960 engine (with metric bearing sizes); Royal Enfield still makes essentially the same bike in 350 cc and 500 cc models, and now different models for other market segments.{{cite web|title=History|url=http://royalenfield.com/aboutus/history/|website=Royal Enfield – Official Website|access-date=4 November 2015}}
