Reliance Industries buys world’s most sophisticated armoured Mercedes to protect Mukesh Ambani

[Juggernautjatt]

Reliance Industries has procured the world’s most sophisticated armoured vehicle for enhanced personal security of its chairman and managing director.

The fortified Mercedes Benz is mounted on a normal S600. The RIL car has Level-9 vehicle resistance (VR9), the highest available currently. It was customised at Benz’s Sindelingen plant in Germany.

Sources said the armoured vehicle was registered at the Mumbai Central Regional Transport Office (RTO) today.

An email to RIL spokesperson seeking details wasn’t answered.

But a source in know said: “As chairman of India’s largest private conglomerate, Mukesh Ambani is the custodian of the interests of more than 2.8 million shareholders. He has Z-category security since April 2013. An armoured vehicle complies with advice of the security establishment for protectees of this level.”

Demand for super-secure carriages for apex protectees in the world of business, politics and the arts has been surging globally.

Proof? RIL, the source said, had to queue up at No. 57 on the global wait list for the 2015-model armoured S600. This meant a wait of eight months before the car could land in India earlier this week.

The base price of a 2015 model Mercedes Benz S600 is a plebeian Rs 1.5 crore. The rest of the price is accounted for by cost and fitments of Level-9 armour, import duty on the armour and corresponding levies and insurance.

RIL’s 2015-model S600 V-9 armoured vehicle is the first in India. Actor Aamir Khan has the 2014 model.

Kashmir is no more considered as happening a place as Karachi is now a days !!! But you never know when masters from across the border will refuel and reignite the totally indigenous freedom movement.

Why??You wanna eat his balls or something??

 

[Archie]

Think of it this way,

Namo now has to be content with a car that is less capable than Ambani's
In fact Namo is stuck with the car Manmohan left him till 2017, when the replacement will be ordered

Not sure there is any connection to be made, the 760Li high security the SPG use for the PM are custom built with specific features for heads of state and it is clear they are the most secure and advanced cars in India.


And how could you know when the SPG intend to replace their current fleet of 760Lis mate?

And FYI, the BMWs the PM has now are NOT the ones left by MMS, the SPG had bought a brand new fleet of 760Lis for whoever would be PM post May 2014 (MMS, as the former PM, still has SPG protection and still has the 760Li fleet to drive him around).





+ what I think is interesting is that Mr Ambani had supposedly "urged" the PM to go for a "made in India" car as his official vehicle when entering office and said his company would make a custom built vehicle for the PM but he himself has gone for a German built vehicle.

Hypocrite.

Our PM are not less hypocrite.
We manufacture Rolling stock of Metro but Indian Railway under GoI order Rolling stock from China, So much Make in India.

Well Ambanis whole refineries built by Chinese & so does their power plant.
And same case with Adani.
All people are soul mate of modi ji.
