As per the restructuring plan, they will exit India so that they focus on the core markets like the United States of America and will retain a restructuring of 169 million dollars.

If a person has a dream of buying a Harley Davidson in India then Hero motor corp is dealing with Harley Davidson India so that their bikes can be imported and enthusiasts can buy them however there is one more option that Harley Davidson models will be available in the second-hand market of two-wheelers however the servicing would be very difficult shutting down of operations in India will lead to increase in the costs of spare parts as if the cruisers again make a comeback then they will be through CBU only if Hero motor corp agrees to import them in India.
