Top 5 Most Expensive Cars in India 2025: India’s hypercar market has sky-rocketed in 2025 with the country’s most expensive car going down in history as billionaire industrialist Yohan Poonawalla’s insane ₹22 crore Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII EWB, which has put even Ambani’s car collection in a humble shade.
The Indian luxury car market has changed a lot in last couple of years. A ₹2-3 crore Mercedes S-Class at one time was the epitome of all things luxury on four wheels. Today’s ultrawealthy are throwing down amounts that could buy entire apartment buildings on four wheels, and really, things have gone cuckoo, by the numbers.
The New King: Yohan Poonawalla’s ₹22 Crore-Priced Phantom
Yohan Poonawalla – the billionaire industrialist who obviously doesn’t think twice before he decides to make an extravagant purchase – has just taken the crown with his latest purchase, a customized Rolls Royce Phantom VIII EWB worth an insane ₹22 crore. And this is no ordinary Phantom; it comes with a Bohemian Red paint job that sparkles at night, back-lit radar, a solid gold Spirit of Ecstasy and “P” badging found at the rear quarters.
The car is powered by a huge 6.75-litre V12 twin-turbo that makes 571 bhp and 900 Nm. But here’s the twist—this is but one car of 22 Rolls-Royce cars that Poonawalla owns. Twenty-two! Few of us can manage a single car, and this bloke has his own month’s collection of Rolls-Royces.
Nita Ambani’s Rose Quartz Beauty
Poonawalla’s purchase comes right after Nita Ambani’s as-impressive Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII EWB, which cost upwards of ₹15 crore. Opting for a stunning Rose Quartz color motif, the philanthropist and wife of India’s richest man requested an all-white interior with personalized “N.M.A.” initials on the headrests.
It is powered by the same 6.75-litre V12 as Poonawalla’s car, but what really bumps the price up are the dozens of bespoke factory options which make this not a regular ₹10.48-crore Phantom, but the one-and-only of its kind.od, into something only you will ever have.
The Pharma King’s Gold Chariot
V.S. Reddy, the managing director of British Biologicals has owned the India’s priciest car, the Bentley Mulsanne EWB Centenary Edition worth ₹14 crore. Not only is this costly; it’s also history-making. Bentley built just 100 worldwide to mark their centenary, and Reddy got one in Centenary Gold.
Power from a 6.75-liter V8 is rated at 506 bhp and 1,020 Nm of torque from the Mulsanne. But the true luxury comes in the details, such as lambswool carpet mats, diamond-quilted rear seats and privacy curtains. It’s essentially a rolling palace, which stands to reason for a man who has made it big in the pharmaceuticals business.
Bollywood’s Luxury Choices
The world of entertainment is hardly lagging. Emraan Hashmi, on the other hand, who usually keeps a low profile, shocked everyone as he got home a Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge for ₹12.5 crore. The murdered-out look is perfect for his personality, and with 600 PS under the bonnet in V12 form it’s no slouch either.
Hyderabad business magnate Naseer Khan completes the top five with his ₹12 crore McLaren 765 LT Spider. This track weapon of a supercar gets its power courtesy of a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that achieves 765 bhp — basically a Formula 1 car with a license.
The Broader Picture
What’s most intriguing is how varied these decisions are. If the Ambanis and Poonawalla are betting on Rolls-Royce’s ultimate luxury, others are experimenting with different flavors of excess. The McLaren is all about raw, unadulterated performance, and the Bentley is true old-world craftsmanship.
The trend is a reflection of India’s increasingly lopsided wealth distribution and shifting views on luxury. These are not mere cars; they are statements, investments and in some instances, literal moving advertisements for success.
The irony? In a country in which the majority of people still travel by two-wheelers or public transport, these five vehicles have cumulatively cost upwards of ₹75 crore together. This is enough to buy a small airline, or to fund a pretty good size startup.
But hey, if you have it, why not flout it? The people who make and sell these multimillion-dollar luxury cars are providing jobs from the craftsmen who build the cars to the mechanics who service the cars. And they’re giving the rest of us something to dream about — or at least, something to gawk at when we see them roll past through Mumbai traffic.
So now the question is who will surpass Poonawalla’s Rs 22 crore bid? As much as these numbers keep rising, we may not have to wait long to find out.
