The Ministry of External Affairs has placed an order to lease 55 top end E 250 CDI Mercedes-Benz luxury sedan cars. These will be used for visiting foreign dignitaries comprising Head of States, Presidents and top diplomats, starting with the upcoming India Africa Forum Summit (IAFS).
Mercedes-Benz has always been the preferred luxury brand for Head of States across the globe including India, and we are extremely proud of this fact. The impeccable sense of prestige, luxury, safety and comfort offered by a Mercedes-Benz is rarely matched and makes us the obvious choice for such exclusive clientele. The mandate from the Ministry of External Affairs opting for the E-Class luxury sedan is a reiteration of the inherent strength of our product and of the unsurpassable brand equity that Mercedes-Benz commands in the Indian luxury car market.
Roland Folger, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.
The E Class has sold 30,000 units and is the first luxury car to be produced in India since 1995.
