      As stated to NDTV an official from RTO was quoted as saying, “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 armored by BMW Germany. Since the import duty on armored cars is 300%, the cost of the car ballooned to Rs. 8.5 crore, hence the high registration cost.” The vehicle has been designed at BMW facility in Germany and is designed to handle any sudden attack on the vehicle.
