KTM India Not Coming @ Auto Expo 2018

KTM Not Coming at Auto Expo 2018: KTM India is skipping the Auto Expo 2018 and nothing could get worse than this for fans of the Austrian manufacturer. It definitely feels bad as most people were waiting for those six days to see KTM 790 Duke before their eyes for the first time.

KTM counts under the Bajaj Auto family and both brands have decided to skip the show this year. KTM is always seen at EICMA and most of their new products are introduced at that show itself. It seems that they still have no concrete plans for expansion of Indian lineup and that makes them good for an absent from Auto Expo 2018.
