Is it worth all those three million then?
Like art, the Indian Chieftain is not for everyone. If we tell you that it costs Rs 32,00,000 lakh at a showroom in Delhi, some of you will start thinking of other things you could do with that amount of money. Only some of you then will bother to unbutton that neatly tailored Armani, take a seat in the museum and gaze in admiration at this piece of art. Out of those some, only a few will be able to delve deeper, be able to decipher the message or make something out of it on their own. Something that is in-sync with their individual traits and matches their persona.
Like its name, the Indian Chieftain is for those elite few who lead. People who take a liking towards something and make others emulate their choices. It isn’t just a machine or a motorcycle, but a milestone in your life that says a lot about who you are and what you’re made of.
