Filmmaker Mohit Suri has expanded his car collection with a new luxury electric vehicle. Suri took delivery of a Mercedes-Benz EQS electric sedan, a car worth over Rs 1.60 crore, and was photographed with the vehicle during the handover ceremony.

The director was seen with the new black luxury EV as part of the delivery event. The handover followed a traditional ritual where the car was decorated with a flower garland. The vehicle's green registration plate confirmed its all-electric powertrain, a clear marker for EVs in India.
According to ZigWheels, the Mercedes-Benz EQS is priced in the range of Rs 1.30 crore to Rs 1.48 crore in the Indian market, with on-road prices varying by location. The car Suri purchased is valued at over Rs 1.60 crore, which includes additional costs and options.
Mercedes-Benz EQS: Flagship Electric Sedan Features
The Mercedes-Benz EQS sits at the top of the German automaker's electric sedan lineup in India. The model combines a luxury-focused cabin with an electric powertrain and technology aimed at delivering a premium driving experience.
For the occasion, Suri opted for a casual look. He wore a printed T-shirt with relaxed denim and high-top sneakers as he posed with the car and its key fob, keeping the moment low-key despite the high-value purchase.

What This Means for Luxury EV Adoption in India
Suri's purchase is another sign of growing interest in electric vehicles among high-profile buyers in India. The green plate on his new car is not just a legal requirement — it signals a shift toward cleaner mobility even in the luxury segment.
The EQS is designed to compete at the highest level of electric sedans, offering buyers a combination of comfort, performance, and zero-emission driving. For celebrities like Suri, choosing an EV over a traditional combustion-engine luxury car sends a message about changing preferences.
Our Take: Celebrity EV Purchases Matter
In our view, when a well-known filmmaker like Mohit Suri buys a luxury EV, it does more than add to his garage. It puts electric cars in the spotlight for millions of fans who follow celebrity lifestyles.
Luxury EVs are still a niche market in India, mainly because of high prices and charging concerns. But every high-profile purchase helps normalize the idea of owning an electric car. The fact that Suri chose the flagship EQS — not a budget EV — shows that electric technology is now good enough for the most demanding buyers.
To put it plainly, this is not just a car purchase. It is a small but visible push toward electric mobility in a country where luxury car buyers still mostly prefer petrol and diesel. If more celebrities follow this path, it could speed up the transition to cleaner vehicles across all price segments.
