Harley-Davidson had had tough challenges but Covid-19-related factors have only increased difficulties for the company the world over.

Hero has added 11 Harley-Davidson dealers in India and begun wholesale dispatches of Harley products to dealers from January 18, the company said in a statement to Indian stock exchanges.

Milwaukee-based Harley ended its sales and manufacturing operations in India in September after struggling for a decade to gain a foothold.
