The new Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini has officially arrived in India, with the first unit delivered in Mumbai. This exclusive motorcycle, born from an ongoing collaboration between the two legendary Italian brands, is already sold out worldwide. All remaining units allocated for the Indian market have been booked, cementing the model’s status as an instant collector’s item.

This launch marks the third chapter in the partnership between Ducati and Lamborghini, both emblematic of Italy’s Motor Valley region. Their shared values of advanced technology, sporting pedigree and exclusivity have previously produced models like the Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini and the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini. The new Panigale V4 Lamborghini continues that tradition, combining engineering excellence with high artistry.

The latest collaboration centres on each brand’s most advanced platform: the Panigale V4 S superbike and the Lamborghini Revuelto hybrid super sports car. The Revuelto serves as the direct design and technical inspiration, featuring a powertrain that generates 1015 horsepower from a new V12 engine and three electric motors. Extensive use of carbon fibre gives the Revuelto a weight-to-power ratio of 1.75 kg per horsepower, enabling acceleration from zero to one hundred kilometres per hour in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350 kilometres per hour.

For the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, Ducati’s design team collaborated closely with Lamborghini’s stylists to create a unique livery based on visible-carbon-fibre black, accented with Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto, and Grigio Acheso. The forged aluminium wheels mirror those of the Revuelto, while the tail section and wings have been reshaped to echo the supercar’s lines. Only 630 numbered examples are being produced worldwide, with the Indian models featuring this exclusive Lamborghini-inspired finish.

The motorcycle is built on the advanced V4 S platform, incorporating the Ducati Vehicle Observer and Race eCBS electronics. Extensive carbon fibre components, including the heat shield, mudguards and bodywork, use the same weave found in Lamborghini cars, with a distinctive herringbone pattern along the symmetry line. An approved Akrapovič titanium silencer with carbon end caps helps raise maximum power to 218.5 horsepower while reducing weight to 185 kg, nearly two kg less than the standard Panigale V4 S.

Additional equipment includes a dry clutch, billet aluminium adjustable footrests and levers and a track kit with a racing tank cap and open carbon fibre clutch cover. Each bike features a dedicated dashboard animation, a laser-etched ignition key badge, a certificate of authenticity and a custom wooden crate with a matching rear stand. Priced at INR 10 million ex-showroom India, the limited edition is already fully allocated following the first Mumbai delivery.

Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati India, said, “With the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, Ducati continues to celebrate the perfect blend of performance, design and exclusivity that defines both Ducati and Lamborghini. This collaboration brings together two iconic Italian brands that share a passion for engineering excellence and craftsmanship. The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is not just a motorcycle but a collector’s masterpiece that embodies innovation, sportiness and the unmistakable spirit of Italian automotive artistry. We are excited to bring this extraordinary machine closer to enthusiasts and collectors in India.”

Yulu, an Indian shared electric mobility platform, has announced that over 12,000 women home service professionals across 12 cities have utilised its platform to facilitate their work.

By providing accessible, low-cost electric vehicles (EVs), Yulu is actively dismantling mobility barriers that often prevent women from entering or thriving in the gig economy.

The platform supports women working as home cleaners, meal preppers and laundry professionals in the fast-growing online home services sector. Yulu’s lightweight, speed-capped EVs – which do not require a driver’s license – have allowed these professionals to complete 25–30 percent more assignments daily.

The all-inclusive rental model, which covers battery swapping and maintenance, significantly lowers the barrier to entry for women who previously lacked reliable personal transport.

Beyond the 12,000 women in home services, Yulu says it has empowered over 550,000 gig workers and delivery partners nationwide, many of whom have seen their incomes rise by 30–40 percent compared to using traditional petrol bikes.

The integration of Yulu’s mobility solutions comes at a pivotal time for India's service economy. According to Redseer Strategy Consultants, India's online home services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18–22 percent, reaching nearly USD 1 billion by FY2030.

At present over 35,000 women professionals are providing on-demand home services across platforms such as Urban Company, Snabbit and Pronto to name a few.

Amit Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO, Yulu, said, "Access to a vehicle often spells the difference between being dependent on her family and having an additional income stream that unlocks independence and dignity."
