Nita Ambani Buys 25000 pieces of Crockery for Antilia
Finally Mukesh Ambani shifted to his new house – Antilia. Antilia is world’s costliest house worth of US $ 1 Billion (Rs.5000 Crores).
Nita Ambani is buying crockery for her new house. Recently she has bought 25000 pieces of chinaware for her new home antilia reports Economic Times.
Interestingly, the big-ticket order has not been placed at the exclusive Noritake showroom in Mumbai’s Kemps Corner, a stone’s throw from the Ambani tower. Rather, corporate India’s first lady has chosen Sri Lanka for this acquisition as Noritake is 70-80% cheaper there than elsewhere in the world, including India. This is because the Japanese brand has its largest manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka, and exports its fine china to over 100 countries from there.
M Deva Raja, General Manager of Noritake Sri Lanka, said the company has an enquiry from Ambani for more than 20,000 pieces but has not supplied anything yet. A Reliance spokesman declined comment.
“Noritake is a must-buy for anyone who visits Sri Lanka,” said Santosh Desai, chief executive, Future Brands. “However, an order of such a scale is unheard of for the brand which is an elite icon. But then again, a 27-floor residence is also unheard of.”
A 50-piece dinner set with 22 carat gold/platinum trimmings could cost $300-500 in Sri Lanka while the same would be priced between $800 and $2,000 in India. Multiply that by 500 (to cover Nita Ambani’s 25,000-piece order) and the price could have hit $1 million at the upper end in India.
This is really a good bargain. This shows that, Nita Ambani is really a “Gujju Wife” who is cost savvy.
