Independence Day 2024: Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, enjoys an exceptionally high level of security, which extends to his transportation. The Indian government prioritizes his safety by equipping him with some of the most secure vehicles available.
Among his fleet, the Mercedes-Maybach S650 stands out. This vehicle made its debut when PM Modi used it to greet Russian President Vladimir Putin at Hyderabad House in Delhi in 2021. The Mercedes-Maybach S650 has superseded earlier models such as the Land Rover Range Rover Vogue and the Toyota Land Cruiser as the primary transport for the Prime Minister. The S650 Guard variant is equipped with VR-10 level protection, the highest standard of armoured security available in production cars. This level of protection includes the ability to withstand bullets from an AK-47 and shield its occupants from explosions equivalent to a 15 kg TNT blast.
