Ducati India's new models and price hike details

Limited-edition models will also be made available in India by year-end

According to Bipul Chandra, managing director, Ducati India, the price correction is being introduced due to rising operational costs driven by inflation and increasing commodity prices.

Ducati India has also outlined an extensive product launch roadmap for 2026. Following the recent introduction of the Desmo450 MX, the brand has confirmed that the Panigale V4 Lamborghini will arrive in India later this month as a rare collectible.

This will be followed by the all-new Monster V2, Hypermotard V2, DesertX V2, and the new Multistrada V4 Rally, all slated for launch before the end of the year. Corse editions of both the Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4 ranges are also planned.

Additionally, the Superleggera V4 Centenario is also expected to make its way to India in extremely limited numbers, although all units are reportedly already pre-booked.
