There is a new prized addition to Mukesh Ambani’s garage. After security threats by mail, senior Ambani is all geared up for any security lapses for the future with a customised BMW car registered at the highest price with Tardeo Road Transport Office so far."The car is a regular BMW 760i which costs Rs 1.9 crore on road. But as per Mr Ambani's Z-category security requirement, it was armoured by BMW Germany. Since the import duty on armoured cars is 300%, the cost of the car ballooned to Rs. 8.5 crore, hence the high registration cost," an RTO official said on the condition of anonymity.
Ambani’s car is not the only bullet proof car in the streets of Mumbai, but given the kind of vehicle with value added features has made it the costliest car owned by any Indian till date.
According to media reports, given the price of the car, it is likely to be used by the Ambanis themselves.
After owning the world’s most expensive residential property Antilla, Mukesh Ambani has again set a record of the highest paid car registration fee.
