Mukesh Ambani is a well known businessman and India’s richest man. Not only India but he is counted among the top wealthy people of the world. For obvious reasons then, he and his family get the highest security cover in India to keep him safe.

He has a Z+ security fence around him that is responsible for keeping him safe from threats whenever he is on the move. Mr. Ambani uses a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series when he’s travelling. His Z+ security cover uses a lot of cars and SUVs. Let’s now find out which are the vehicles that are used by his security personnel.
