Harley-Davidson & Hero could bring more US models to India

The two companies might also agree to manufacture Harley-Davidson bikes in India.

According to a media report, Harley-Davidson and Hero MotoCorp plan to expand their partnership to bring more American motorcycles to India.

The report states that Harley and Hero are close to finalizing an agreement that would pave the way for new models. It is said that the two companies might also agree to manufacture Harley-Davidson bikes in India. These bikes could be sold locally and also exported to overseas markets.

Hero MotoCorp currently manufactures the Harley-Davidson X440 at its Neemrana plant in Rajasthan. The Indian 2-wheeler maker also has the rights to sell and service Harley bikes, along with spare parts, accessories and merchandise. 

Neither Harley-Davidson nor Hero MotoCorp has confirmed these reports. However, if the rumours are to be believed, an official announcement could be made in the coming weeks.
