Ducati has officially reinstated their long-term commitment to the Indian big bike market, by making a comeback on their own as Ducati India Private Limited after an infamous distribution partnership soured earlier.

The Italian premium two-wheeler maker has already opened fresh sales and service dealer outlets in Mumbai and Gurgaon with a wide range of superbikes on sale in India. Ducati showrooms in India will all offer after-sales service and spare parts support to existing bikes sold earlier in the country. The Ducati showroom in Gurgaon is their largest showroom in the world, located very close to the Hero MotoCorp factory, a landmark in the area.

Ducati will soon open doors to a Bengaluru showroom by Oct 2015, followed by outlets in Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Cochin, Chandigarh, Indore, Jaipur and Goa.
