Rolls-Royce has returned to India after the appointment of Navnit Motors as its distributor in Mumbai, which has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the prestige brand’s parent company BMW Group.

The Phantom model will be on sale in India for 30 million rupees (£363,410).

"We are delighted to return to India today, a country with which Rolls-Royce has had a close relationship for much of the last century. As India enjoys a surge in economic growth, we are delighted to bring the Phantom to a country which has a deep appreciation of the unparalleled excellence which the Rolls-Royce name stands for," says Rolls-Royce Asia-Pacific regional director Colin Kelly.
