Harley-Davidson’s efforts to sell its motorcycles in India was earlier hindered thrice by stringent emission requirements, high tariffs and taxes. However, Director General of Foreign Trade has allowed the imports into India provided the bikes have been homologated by any certified agency from the European Union. Earlier, the policy stated that the bikes needed to be homologated only in their country of origin as this meant that all 800cc plus bikes needed to be tested and then approved in the country they were manufactured in, to be treated roadworthy in India.
