Though some may say this looks like an April 1 joke, we saw this in today's edition of the Hindustan Times: Ducati is considering bringing their Monster 696 in India.
After seeing how things are moving with the Indian bike industry, we're not surprised if this rumor turns out to be true.
No info on whether Ducati plans to build bikes in India or just export them was provided, but rumor has it that the Borgo Panigale guys could develop an Asia-specific machine. Ducati is building Monster 795 in Thailand and this could be a strong foothold for future plans involving a cheaper Monster.
Autocar Professional, the website which is cited as a source by Hindustan Times has pulled off the article, and that's why we list it under the Rumors tag. Time will tell, anyway, pretty soon.
