Ducati to open first showroom in Mumbai in Summer

Italian bike maker Ducati Motor Holding will open its first showroom in Mumbai in the summer.

"We want to have one showroom in every metro," Precision Motor CEO Ashish Chordia told reporters. Precision Motor is the distributor of Ducati in India.

After Mumbai, showrooms would come up in Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore in the next twelve months, he said.

In 2008, Ducati sold 45,000 bikes globally and it has been a good year for it, Ducati's CEO and President Gabriele Del Torchio said.

"India will not be a major market for Ducati now. But it will be five years from now," he said.
